A recent study by Haifa University's National Security Studies Center shows
that nearly half of the Jewish public - 47.7% - opposes the establishment of
a Palestinian state, even in the framework of a peace agreement. Also, a
majority of the Jewish public in Israel - 63.7 percent - believes that the
government should encourage Israeli Arabs to emigrate from Israel. The
survey also found that 48.6 percent of the Israeli Jews polled said the
government was overly sympathetic to the Arab population, and that if
national elections were held today, close to 30% of the public would support
a Kach-like party (whose platform was to expel Arabs from Israel and Yesha).
Over 55% of the Jewish public feels that Israeli Arabs are a threat to
national security, and there is widespread Jewish support of Israel's
counter-terror methods, with nearly 80% of Jews supporting Israel's policy
of killing terrorist leaders.

That most Jews in Israel prefer to live in their own communities should come
as no surprise. It was the purpose of re-establishing an independent Jewish
State in the first place. After nearly 2,000 years of bitter occupation and
exile, Jews desired to return and liberate their ancient homeland. After
centuries of Christian and Muslim persecution while in exile, Jews looked
forward to re-establishing their own independent national life, without
Christian or Muslim interference.

By the way, if it troubles you about Israel contemplating buying the Arabs
out, or throwing them out; ask yourself this:
"How much does it bother me that the proposed Palestinian state that George
W. Bush, Tony Blair, the Quartet (US, EU, UN, and Russia) support
establishing, is intended to be an 'ethnically pure' Arab state...no Jews
allowed?"
