Jews and Palestinian Arabs in Israel: Concord or Conflict?
The 1.1 million Palestinian-Arab citizens constitute 17 percent of Israel's population. Scholars, media analysts and policymakers see them as a radicalizing minority. The Arabs view Jews and Israel as becoming ever more intransigent, exclusionary and unresponsive. There is a widespread fear that these clashing views could lead to a violent confrontation.
To discuss this timely issue, Dr. Sammy Smooha—a USIP Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow who has been studying and conducting public opinion polls on Arab-Jewish relations in Israel since the 1970s—will present two different sets of representative survey data for the years 1976-2009 and 2003-2009.
