      It’s a Qatari institution with clear bias. Just because it has “Arab” in the name doesn’t mean it represents all arabs. There are many institutions in the middle east with “arab” in the title, they don’t represent us all.

      Just a reminder that Aljazeera is a Qatari state owned channels, and Qatar represented Palestine in the opening for Asia’s cup just yesterday.

      But yea… good journalism.

          8000 respondents, given that they’re a fair sample size from each arab-majority country (which I doubt) do not represent what 464 million arabs think.

          That’s 0.0001724138% of the population.

            your comment shows us you don’t know how polls are made

            why not look it up first and only then comment (if relevant)

              Maybe include that it is a poll of “~5700 arabs by Qatari institutions” in the title, not “67% of arabs”.

              Misleading title. Sorry to see individuals like you on Lemmy rather than Reddit.

              Just like the polls done by those who “know stats” who predicted a clinton win in 2016.
