Public support for a mass eviction of Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria has dropped nearly 50%, according to a survey conducted by Ariel University Center's Samaria & Jordan Rift Valley R&D center.

The survey, an annually published index of public opinion on the settlement enterprise and settlers, was unveiled Thursday at an academic conference hosted at the Ariel campus.

According to the data, the percentage of Israelis supporting a massive eviction of settlers in Judea and Samaria as part of a peace treaty has declined to about 14% of the adult Jewish population. This compares to 27% last year.

The survey aslo revealed the perception of settlers as a Jewish warriors and army officers is on the rise, with 32% of respondents identifying the residents of Judea and Samaria that way. This also compares to 27% last year.

It was also found that most of the Israeli public perceives the Israeli-Arab conflict as national conflict with religious roots that impacts the very existence of a Jewish state, rather than as a territorial conflict based on the borders of 1967.

I love the smell of coffee in the morning. It smells like reality.

Looks like just one more Obama failure.
