The Arabs of Israel
Are they a "persecuted minority?" In a recent poll, 70% of Israel's Arabs declared that they identified with and felt loyalty to the Palestinians, and not to the state of Israel. Significantly, however, the same percentage (70%) declared that they would much prefer to live in Israel than in any other country in the area. (2001).

Poll Shows Most Palestinians Favor Violence Over Talks (Published 2008)
By Ethan Bronner, The New York Times
Mar 19, 2008 — RAMALLAH, West Bank — A new poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Palestinians support the attack this month on a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem that killed eight young men, most of them teenagers, an indication of the alarming level of Israeli-Palestinian tension in recent weeks.
The survey also shows unprecedented support for the shooting of rockets on Israeli towns from the Gaza Strip and for the end of the peace negotiations between Palestinian and Israeli leaders.
The pollster, Khalil Shikaki, said he was shocked because the survey, taken last week, showed greater support for violence than any other he had conducted over the past 15 years in the Palestinian areas. Never before, he said, had a majority favored an end to negotiations or the shooting of rockets at Israel.

Gabe Kahn, Israel National News, 02.06.11
PA report proves Arabs have benefited from Israeli sovereignty in East Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria.
A report recently published by the Palestinian Authority's Central Bureau of Statistics demonstrates Arabs in East Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria have reaped the benefits of Israeli sovereignty. According to the report, Israeli control over Judea and Samaria has had an enormous positive impact on civil infrastructure and improved accessibility to basic resources like water and electricity, as well as opening the region to the Israeli labor market, which has brought a significant increase in GDP.

If Israel is as terrible as its enemies claim, why do so many Palestinians prefer to live under Israeli rule?
Dec 28, 2021
According to a 2021 survey undertaken by the Palestinian Shfa publication, 93% of Palestinian Arabs in Jerusalem—all non-Israeli citizens—prefer to remain under Israeli rule and would not give up their Israeli identity cards. Astonishingly for those who witness the daily media and NGO barrage claiming Arab Palestinian misery under Israel's "occupation," only 84 respondents out of 1,200 surveyed said they would prefer to live under the Palestinian Authority. However, even of those 84, 79 said they also would not give up their Israeli identity cards.
Nevertheless, this survey is hardly an outlier, and other Arabs feel similarly. A poll undertaken by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung at Tel Aviv University's Dayan Center in 2017, found that 60% of Arabs in Israel had a favorable attitude towards the State of Israel.
