Fears of Violence between Jews and Arabs inside Israel in Wake of Gaza War Proved False
(Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv University) Ephraim Lavie - Two weeks after the Hamas terror attack on Oct. 7, 90% of the Jewish public in Israel and 70% of the Arab public estimated there would be severe violence between Jews and Arabs within days, as there was during the Israel-Hamas clash in May 2021. This fear proved false. Most of the Israeli Arab public condemned the terror attack and expressed in words and deeds their shared fate with the Jewish majority. An Israel Democracy Institute survey found that 66% of Muslim citizens and 84% of Christians and Druze feel part of the state.
