More than 90 percent of Israeli Jews think that living in Israel is good, according to a new poll published in the Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonot Monday. Only nine percent responded that living is Israel is not good. Seventy percent also said they are not embarrassed at being Israeli. Of those who are embarrassed, a plurality said the reason is Israeli politicians.
Responding to a question about the biggest personal-national crisis they experienced in Israel, 12 percent cited the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, and 17 percent noted the expulsion of Jews and the destruction of their communities in Gush Katif and northern Samaria.
