Peace Index: Israelis Unenthused by Annapolis
[Ha'aretz] Ephraim Yaar and Tamar Hermann - According to the Peace Index survey carried out on October 29-30, 2007: 40% of the Jewish public thinks the Annapolis conference can significantly advance the chances of reaching a permanent peace agreement, while 51% said no. 68% think that the Palestinians constitute a serious security threat; 29% do not think so. 65% of the Jewish public agree with the statement, "Most of the Palestinians have not accepted Israel's existence and would destroy it if they could." Similar rates have been found in the Jewish public since the mid-1990s. 71% support cutting off electricity and limiting the fuel supply in response to rocket attacks from Gaza, while only 12% oppose such measures.
