The article below describes a survey done in Israel, in 5 cities, by Eli Ungar-Sargon and his wife Sharon. This was part of their work on a documentary on the Israel/Palestine conflict.
The survey provides substantiation for the following: 1- Anti-Arab sentiment is a mainstream phenomenon in Israel. 2- More racism among the very young. 3- Support for a 2 state solution (when this involves handing back territory) is really low. 4- In reality, attitudes are likely worse than the conclusions of this survey.
While the survey is not "scientific", and some of the criteria set by those who conducted it are questionable, IMO, I think it's interesting and of value.
In addition to the article, there is a video clip that gives a glimpse into the responses given.
