Pew Research: Jewish and Arab Perceptions of Israeli Society

Can Israel be a Jewish and a democratic state? How much discrimination is there in Israeli society? Do Jews and Arabs socialize with each other? How important are a secular education and successful career to Jewish and Arab individuals?

These are some of the issues explored in a Pew Research Center survey administered in 5,601 face-to-face interviews in Israel between Oct. 14 2014 and May 21, 2015. Survey findings—including 48% of Jews agreeing that “Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel,” 76% saying Israel can be a Jewish and democratic state, while 64% of Arabs saying it cannot—continue to make waves. At the same time, responses also show Jews and Arabs value the same life goals and aspirations.

Alan Cooperman, Director of Religion Research at the Pew Research Center, discussed the findings, points of congruence and divergence, and the methodology and demographic data that puts them in context.
