60 Percent of Israeli Jews Favor Segregation From Arabs, Survey Finds

The headline is shocking, because Haaretz — regularly described as the New York Times of Israel — has always been an open creature of the Labour Socialist movement. But getting into the details provides a more nuanced picture.

[Haaretz] Some 60 percent of Israeli Jews believe it is best for Jews and Arabs to live apart, according to a survey conducted by the Israeli Democracy Institute in March of this year.

This is a significant rise compared with the rate that agreed with the same statement in April 2021, which then stood at 45 percent. Last year's survey was taken before the violent incidents that broke out in some of Israel's mixed cities

...in other words, before the resident Arab Israelis turned violently against their Jewish Israeli neighbours...

during the last round of fighting in Gaza, and before the United Arab List joined the government's ruling coalition.

Among Arab respondents there was almost no change in the rate of support for living apart, which has stood at 20 percent for several years. In other words, most Jews now support segregation, compared with a constant minority among Arabs.

"The report shows a complex picture," said Dr. Tamar Herman, who led the study. "Among Arabs there has been an intensification of their sense of discrimination as a collective, as opposed to a weakening of the perception of this discrimination among Jews. The former show a rise in the desire to participate in decision-making, and among Jews there is a declining willingness to share that privilege with them."

She added that over the past year "there has been a decline in willingness among Jews to live in proximity to Arabs or allow them to purchase land outside of Arab municipalities." However, recent events "have not harmed the high willingness of both groups to share workplaces."

A breakdown of the sample among Jews reveals significant internal differences: Close to 70 percent of those who defined themselves as right-wing supported segregation, as opposed to slightly under half in the political center, and only a third on the left.

In the sample of Arab respondents, differences were found between voters for the United Arab List and Joint List parties. Around one-third of the former support segregation, compared to one-fifth of the latter.

The Joint List is that multi-party thing organized by President Obama’s Democratic Party consultants back in 2015 to drive Bibi Netanyahu out of office to the benefit of the Israeli Left. Despite bringing bulging moneybags, they were not successful. The United Arab List is generally referred to as Ra’am, the political party of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel, which formally calls itself the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement — the Northern Branch being the militant arm.

In the study, respondents were asked for their reaction to the statement that an Israeli Arab who feels part of the Palestinian people can also be a loyal citizen to Israel. Sixty-three percent of Arabs and 28 percent of Jews agreed to that statement in March. Both groups registered a drop in the rate of agreement to the statement since April 2021, but the decline was far more pronounced among Jews.

Arabs under 35 agreed less with the statement than did those in older age groups, and the rate of their agreement has dropped since the previous measurement a year earlier.

There was also a decline in Israeli Arab agreement with the statement that most Arab citizens of Israel want to integrate into Israeli society – from 80 percent in 2021 to 73 percent last March. In contrast, changes among the Jewish public regarding this statement were smaller, with about half of respondents agreeing with it.

#1 In many countries including in the USA peoples are demanding their governments to boycott the racist country of Israel. This group of people are not the liberal socialists, these people are common conservatives awakening to the fact that Israel it’s been like a parasites in our society. Americans do not want to support any longer that bunch of freaks that call themselves chosen. Americans are resentful on how the chosen have filled and excluded the rest on each and every commanding niche in our society. They manipulated the information always in their favor the create laws so you cannot contest them.
THAT IS PURE RACISM
Hope that economic and political demise of the USA finally remove that artificial creation.
Israeli culture as to change or Israel as to disappear.
The Israeli disgusting collaboration with the Ukrainian Nazis was the culprit of the criminal act of the artificial county of Israel
Been there own, and did business in Tel Aviv, most racist and religious intolerant people on the planet.
