94% of 'Israeli Arabs' wouldn't want to live elsewhere

They must really be suffering.

A survey done for Israel's Independence Day shows that 94% of 'Israeli Arabs' would rather live in Israel than anyplace else in the world. Yes, that's an even larger percentage than for Israeli Jews.
As for optimism about the future and desiring to live in Israel compared to elsewhere, about two-thirds of the Arab interviewees were optimistic about the country's future and an absolute majority- 94%-wanted to continue living in Israel.

If you had the choice, would you continue to live in Israel or would you move to another country?

Jews: live in Israel 81% Move to another country 14% Don't know 5%

Arabs live in Israel 94% Move to another country 2% Don't know 4%%
Read the whole thing.

Given that the economy here is in the toilet right now (over 20,000 people were laid off in March), I'm amazed there is so much optimism.

Considering they hate the Jews and want to see Israel destroyed, that is an amazing figure. No Israeli Jew will ever expect the Arabs to love a country they do not identify with and yet all the same this is where they want to be!

I think they figure that even after the achieving Jews leave or get blown up, the Israeli Arabs will get to keep Israel and it will be just like it is now. Logic is missing! There's still time for them to join the Israeli Jews rather than supporting the birdbrained "resistance" and keep the miracle in the desert blooming. Otherwise, if their side wins, take a look at Gaza to see what they'll be left with. Think this through!

the margin of error in the surrvey was +/- 4.5.
Statistically it's meaningless. the sample size was too small.
