In 2006, an Israeli research institute poll reported that 41% of Israelis were in favour of Arab-Israeli sesgregation, 40% believed ‘the state needs to support the emigration of Arab citizens,’ and 63% believed Arabs to be a ‘security and demographic threat’ to Israel. More than two thirds would not want to live in the same building with an Arab, 36% believed Arab culture to be inferior, and 18% felt hatred when they heard Arabic spoken.

Last year a poll conducted by Bielefeld University (Germany) showed – 31% of European believe that Jews in general don’t care about anything or anyone other than their own kind while 45.7% European strongly agree that Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians and about 37.4% agree that it’s Israel’s policy which make people hate the Jews.

Last year a poll conducted by the Pew Research Centre found that while the hatred toward Zionist Jews is very high within most Arab countries – only 35% of Israeli Arabs expressed negative opinion of Jews.

The latest poll conducted by Israel’s Ma’agar Mohot among 536 Israeli Jew youth (15-to-18-year-old) showed – 50% believe that Israel Arab should not be granted the same rights as their Jewish counterparts; 56% believe that Arab citizen should not be allowed to be member of Knesset (Parliament); 50% of participants said they’re religious Jews and the “Death to Arabs” slogan is legitimate.

Reuel S. Amdur, an author and social worker from Quebec (Canada) in his latest article, titled Prejudice reigns in Israel (The Canadian Charger magazine, March 17, 2010), wrote:

Professor Dan Bar-Tal of Tel Aviv University examined 124 Israeli school text books and found anti-Arab stereotypes: “primitiveness, inferiority in comparison to Jews,” also “dirty, agitated, aggressive, and hostile to Jews.” The students are simply repeating what they have learned.

“The Arabs are worms,” said MK Yehiel Hazan, of the currently governing Likud Party. When the Speaker called on him to retract, he refused to do so.

Some municipalities, schools, and several organizations have undertaken efforts to discourage dating and marriage of Jewish girls to Arabs. Sometimes the discouragement becomes more aggressive, involving snitch phone lines and even vigilante actions.

Israel is on a path of growing international isolation at the same time as it faces ongoing resistance domestically to its confiscations. Such conditions promote more of this kind of prejudice, and the prejudice leads to discrimination. Then, the discrimination calls forth prejudice to justify it, and so on in a vicious circle.
