Well, this is from a new poll of the War and Peace Index - September 2009 that appears under the auspices of Tel Aviv University every month. I have quoted from them before so you can do a search here to check.
Here's their findings this month:-
As for the political issue standing at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, namely, support or opposition to a peace agreement based on the principle of “two states for two peoples,” here too it appears that the distribution of views among the Jewish public is quite clear: the majority, about two thirds (64%), favor the principle compared to a third who oppose it.
At the same time, it appears that a majority of the Jewish public (60%), think continued building in the settlements does not reduce the chances of reaching the two state solution and is not concerned that continued building will lead in practice to the situation of a binational state, with only one third concerned about such an outcome. A cross-checking of the answers to the two questions — on agreement with the two state idea and on continued construction in the settlements — shows that among both the supporters and the opponents of the two-state formula, a majority thinks continued construction in the settlements will not ultimately detract from the realization of the two-state solution; nonetheless, the position on the first question influences the assessment on the second question.
That is, while among the two state supporters only 54% are not concerned about continued building, among the two-state opponents a large majority of 72% are not concerned about the effects of continue building in the settlements.
You do know what this means, yes?
It means that Israelis either don't understand global politics, don't believe that a two-state solution will ever evolve or can't stand President Obama's interference.
What is important to them is continued construction in Judea and Samaria - Yesha.
