Position Paper 77: The Israeli Public Supports Wars, but Is Dissatisfied with the Results
Mada al-Carmel – The Arab Center for Applied Social Research has published a new position paper titled “The Israeli Public Supports Wars, but Is Dissatisfied with the Results,” written by Dr. Mtanes Shihadeh, Director of Mada’s Israel Studies Program.
The paper examines the attitudes of the Jewish Israeli public toward the security, military, and foreign policies of the government. It argues that the position of the Jewish Israeli public is not very different from that of the government, as it supports current security and military policies and the continuation of wars. It also claims that this support is not limited to supporters of the governing coalition but is widespread among most Israelis.
