A new poll has found that youth in Israel are increasingly right-wing in their political opinions, and are overwhelmingly Zionist and loyal to their country.
The survey, conducted by the New Wave Research institute for Israel Hayom and published in part on Wednesday, asked 11th and 12th graders to define their political position.
A full 59% defined themselves as right-wing, while another 23% said they were centrist, and only 13% identified as leftist. Another 5% said they have no position.
A whopping 82% said there is no chance of reaching a deal of some sort with the Palestinian Arabs, indicating their disillusionment with the peace process that has regularly led to waves of Arab terrorism. …

There’s hope for Israel.
This is good news. Am Yisrael chai!
How do we move that number to 80%?
Considering they are living in the midst of the real-life zombie apocalypse, that’s a very reasonable thing to be.
What’s the non-US definition of “Right-Wing”?
In other news, 41% of Israeli youth are morons.
Just give it time. The Orthodox Jews' kids will be right wingers.
So its kind of opposite of America.
Israel is doing a lot right.
America, not so much.
In Israel, does “right wing” translate as “pro-free-market” and “anti-socialist”?
Bring them here and make them cops.
“In other news, 41% of Israeli youth are morons.”
20% are arab, of which about 2% (of 100%) are Christian, which are also “right wing”
So, 19% are muslim 41-19 = 22
22/80 = ~25% of Jewish Israeli youth are idiots.
That actually probably breaks down to the idiot share of the Knesset.
Good news
How are they on abortion I wonder
In israel, “right- wing” (in media lingo) means “I actually want to stay alive and not let the Muslims murder me!!!”
Praying for Israel. This will not be solved till somebody beats the bloody crap out of somebody and I know who I am rooting for....well with God on your side its not too tough to guess who will win if it comes to a fight.
We need to get over the notion that Israel can give up land. It’s not her LAND...Yahweh gave them the land as a part of an everlasting Covenant and unless he agree to a two state solution which I seriously doubt he will then we should but the hell out.

There sure is hope for Israel. You can’t even imagine the patriotism and cohesion that inform this place. When there is a stabbing or a shooting or just an accident people drop what they are doing and run TOWARD the scene to help. This same survey showed that more than 60% of Israeli youth find the family ethos here to be the thing they like best about Israel. And it is a country where people marry young and have lots of children. Paradise on earth.
“How do we move that number to 80%?”
If most Israelis are “right wing”, then “right wing” becomes the new “centrist”, where it belongs.
“In Israel, does “right wing” translate as “pro-free-market” and “anti-socialist”?”
There is a high correlation of that, but it depends.
Most of the commies are dying out.
