The results of a recent survey in Israel shows a jump in racism and intolerance, particularly among newer Jewish immigrants.

According to a latest poll of Israeli Jews, only 15% support full evacuation from the West Bank, the only thing that could lead to an effective two-state solution. Half oppose any settlement evacuation, ever, a clear majority think that ‘political speech should not be permitted to express harsh criticism of the state of Israel.’ And 53% support ‘encouraging Arabs to emigrate from Israel’, or in other words, ethnic cleansing. Bloody hell.
