Hopes for solving Israeli-Palestinian conflict fall across the Mideast, poll finds
Only in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are majorities still inclined to support a two-state solution, while more than 40 percent of Lebanese, Jordanians, and Palestinians now say they no longer believe any solution is possible. By James J. Zogby Many Arabs appear to have lost faith in finding a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian…

Israeli Polls: Jews want to ignore the conflict, Arabs think nothing will change
The majority of Jewish Israelis think the international community will impose some sort of ‘substantial pressure’ on Israel soon. But they are disinclined to let such criticism affect the country’s policy. A majority of Israelis see the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an existential problem, according to January’s monthly Peace Index survey conducted by Tel Aviv University and the…

Understanding Israeli election polls, part II
I would like to address some of the responses to my previous post (“It’s all about the blocs: Understanding Israeli election polls“), since they raise an important issue regarding the difference between an analysis of ideology and political behavior. Several readers challenged my use of the right vs. left division of the entire political system…

What’s the deal with Shelly Yachimovich?
Despite a recent rise in the polls, Labor’s leader seems determined to follow failed policies of former party leaders. As the Labor Party under Shelly Yachimovich rises in the polls, many observers are wondering whether the journalist-turned-politician could be the leader that the center-left camp is searching for, one that could challenge Prime Minister Benjamin…

National unity gov’t splits; PM likely to call, win early elections
After only 70 days, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s mega-coalition shrank back to 66 members of Knesset yesterday. Kadima, the Knesset’s biggest party, decided to leave the government over the failure to reach an agreement on national draft reform. A few takeaways: 1. The entire maneuver that resulted in the national unity government was a mistake by…

One or two states? The status quo is Israel’s rational choice
The secret to understanding Israeli political behavior lies in the widespread (and fundamentally evident) notion that any change to the status quo is likely to bring more harm than good. Even passionate advocates of Israeli policy wonder at times – often in private, but sometimes also in public – why the Israeli government doesn’t show…

Poll: Most Israelis against attack on Iran
Since the shift in the American policy, to one which is much more hospitable to Netanyahu and his government, every time the prime minister returns from Washington, his numbers jump. The last poll (from Haaretz) sees the Likud with 37 seats, which means a very easy job assembling the next government. Yet note this: Despite…

Everything you (never) wanted to know about Israel’s anti-boycott law
A reader’s guide to democracy’s darkest hour. What does the law say? Basically, the anti-boycott law allows all those who feel they have been harmed by a boycott, whether against Israel or an Israeli institution or territory (i.e. the settlements in the West Bank) to sue the person or organization who publicly called for it,…

Poll: Most Israelis don’t know Jordan Valley is occupied
According to a recent survey, most Israelis simply don’t know that the Jordan Valley, the future Palestinians state’s only non-Israeli border, is part of the occupied West Bank. This trend confirms that retaining an Israeli presence in the valley is not likely to become a wedge issue in Israel any time soon. A poll conducted…
