Co-existence in Selected Mixed Arab-Jewish Cities in Israel: by Choice or by Default?

The authors report on the perceptions the inhabitants of five mixed Arab-Jewish cities in Israel: Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Lydda and Ramla about co-existence between Arabs and Jews. The main purpose of the study was to determine the relative importance of various factors that contribute to inhabitants??? satisfaction with co-existence in Israel. The empirical analysis suggests that the variables relating to the specific historical evolution of Arab-Jewish relations, especially in the context of the urban setting, have the greatest explanatory power in understanding perceptions of co-existence. Basic sociological factors also hold some explanatory importance.
