The War Between Russia and Ukraine
- A decisive majority among the Jewish public believes that Russia’s use of force and its occupation of territory in the Ukraine are unjustified. Among the Arab public in Israel, close to half of the respondents agree with these views, while about a fifth believe that Russia’s use of force and its occupation of territory are justified. Most of the gap stems from the fact that a higher percentage of Arab respondents have not formed an opinion about the question.
- Among the Jewish public, there is almost no differences in replies to these questions in terms of political ideologies. Among immigrants from the former Soviet Union, the rate of those who justify Russian policies is a bit higher in comparison to those who were born in Israel, but even within this sector, the great majority believe that the Russian policies are not justified.
