JNS.org – A newly released survey shows that a majority of Israel’s citizens — 86 percent of Jews and 55% of Arabs — are proud to be Israeli.
The survey, commissioned by the think tank the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) and submitted by its president, Yohanan Plesner, to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Monday, also shows an increasing sense among Israelis that human rights organizations, such as the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and B’Tselem, cause damage to the state. Seventy-one percent of the Jewish public and 23 percent of the Arab public believe that to be true — an increase of 15% and 4% respectively from the previous study.
The report also finds a lack of trust in public institutions. The institution that garnered the most public trust was Israel’s Supreme Court, yet it earned the confidence of only 56.5% of Jews and 52% of Arabs.
