According to a survey conducted by Prof. Ephraim Yaar, Head of the Evens Program in Mediation and Conflict Resolution at Tel Aviv University, and Efrat Peleg, the second Lebanon war caused a significant drop in the patriotism Arab citizens felt for Israel.
The survey showed that its Israeli Arab respondents rated their Arab patriotism at 86 percent, their Palestinian patriotism at 61 percent, and their Israeli patriotism at 38 percent. The survey also showed that participants were not proud of being Israeli, and that their emotional affinity to the country was diminishing. Only 45 percent of the Israeli Arab participants said they would encourage their children to remain living in Israel.
The main conclusion reached through the survey's findings was that the second Lebanon war had the opposite effect on Israel's Jewish citizens than it did on Israel's Arab citizens.
