Let' for a moment leave aside that it isn't even on their online editions; not the Hebrew one or the English one:
3/4 of Israels are CERTAIN that Israel will continue. 1/4 (with a 4.5% margin of error) aren't CERTAIN. This doesn't mean they think Israel WON'T. They're just not CERTAIN like the overwhelming majority.
Even with all of the wars, terrorist threats, etc., a majority still said it's safer for Jewish people to live in Israel than in the West.
And even so, and with lower standards of living than in the West, 86% felt Israel is a good place to live and 86 percent described their mood as "good" as opposed to "bad".
Next, we'll check the latest Paleo poll and compare.
- 42.6% of respondents are pessimistic towards the general Palestinian conditions at this stage.
- 86.1% of respondents do not feel safe neither for themselves nor for their families and properties under the present circumstances.
- 62.2% of respondents said that their economic situation under the current circumstances is deteriorating.
- 62.8% of respondents said that the local security conditions deteriorated.
- Within the present circumstances 29.4% of respondents said that they think of emigrating.
- 33.1% of respondents said that that they may emigrate if proper living conditions become available to them abroad.
- 28.7% of respondents said that the main cause that compels them to think of emigrating is lack of security; 45.9% said that it is the poor economic situation.
Arab residents of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza show signs of depression, according to a recent poll. The poll, conducted by Ramallah-based Near East Consulting, found that 92% of Arabs in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority show signs of depression-related anxiety. 801 people were questioned for the poll, which was conducted in May of 2007.
Pollsters blamed the depression on fighting between rival terrorist groups Fatah and Hamas, and the collapse of the joint Hamas-Fatah unity control of the PA. The fighting between the two groups has killed an estimated 616 PA Arabs, and has caused approximately 10,000 to leave the region. Tens of thousands more have requested foreign citizenship.
According to a recent survey by Near East Consulting, 40% of Gaza Arabs are considering leaving Gaza. 53% said they are unable to express themselves freely since the Hamas takeover earlier in the summer, while 80% said the economic situation has gone downhill since the takeover. 400 people from various cities in Gaza were questioned for the survey.
Supporters of Fatah were faring much worse than supporters of Hamas, with Fatah supporters reporting a 24% unemployment rate to Hamas supporters’ 14%. 52% of the Fatah supporters said they had trouble obtaining certain food items, while only 23% of Hamas supporters said the same. 54% of Fatah supporters said they would consider leaving Gaza if given the chance, while only 12% of Hamas supporters said the same.
