3/4 of Israelis See at Least Partial Transfer for Arabs
Arutz 7 ^ | March 31, '08 | Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) A survey carried out the Panels Research Institute finds that more than 75% of Israelis see partial or total transfer for Israeli-Arabs out of Israel in any final-status agreement that includes a Palestinian state.

The poll asked whether it would be justified, in the framework of an agreement for the establishment of a Palestinian state, to demand the transfer out of Israel of all Arabs. Nearly 30% said yes with no reservations, while 28% said only Arabs who did not express loyalty to Israel should be expelled. In addition, another 19% said that Arabs who lived in areas bordering the PA-controlled areas, such as Wadi Area and the southern Galilee, should be transferred out.

The remainder, just under 25%, said no Arabs should be transferred out.

The survey encompassed 668 respondents, taking part in a series of Panel4All internet surveys. The Panels Institute says the respondents are a representative sampling of the adult population in Israel, and that the margin of error is 3.7%.

Another finding of the survey shows that 43% of Israelis feel Arabs in Israel are discriminated against. In addition, 40% feel that Israeli-Arabs have an exclusively Palestinian national identity, while 50% feel they have both Palestinian and Israeli national identities, with the former taking precedence.

Such an expulsion of Arabs from Israel will never take place.

No one gave an option about transferring the Arabs DOWN.

Seriously, I cannot understand why Israel would have as citizens, let alone mere residents, people who don't recognize the legitimacy and authority of the State of Israel. If they do, they get to live better and freer lives than any other Arabs (save the uber-rich sheiks); if not, go live among your brethren where their are no Juden, as you plainly don't like them or tolerate them.

No, nor should it for those who are citizens. For those who refuse to accept Israeli citizenship, whether because of a refusal to swear loyalty, or concern of future treatment by their brother Arabs, what the future brings, it brings.

I’m wondering what particular group this poll was taken from. I doubt that 75% of conservative, national, or religious Israelis would favor transfering any part of Israel to the P.A.

I think you might have mistaken the question. They want the Arabs to leave, not take land.

Some people relate the possibility of transferring the enemy away from Israel to past expulsions of Jewish people, but the two are not related at all. The murderers need to move—not the innocent.
