Abstract:
Presents a study of political preferences for solutions of the conflict, based on interviews with a sample of Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs, and West Bank Arabs. Analyzes the preferences on two levels: the ideal solution and a realistic one. Questions the usefulness of this distinction between the affective and cognitive dimensions, and clarifies the attitudinal dynamics associated with the Israeli-Arab conflict. From the standpoint of conflict-resolution, comparison of the preferences of Israeli Jews and the Palestinians with regard to the entire set of alternatives indicates no similarity in the degree of support given to any of the solutions by the two groups. Thus the most moderate solution desired by a significant proportion of Palestinians is almost completely rejected by the Jews. Identifying potential loci of pragmatic attitudes may be of great practical importance in creating a conflict resolution dialogue among the actors.
