-- 53% of Jews support Arab emigration from Israel;
-- 54% of Jews and Arabs agree that only citizens loyal to the state deserve civil rights;
-- 38% of Jews believe Jews deserve more rights than others; and
-- only 33% of native Jews and 23% of new immigrants want Arab parties in the government, even though their members are Israeli citizens.

Those remaining are given two choices - live under appalling conditions or voluntarily move to one of seven recognized townships or rural villages, live in poverty and unemployment, and relinquish all rights to their land, heritage, and traditional lifestyle.
