According to a poll released this week by Kinneret Academic College of the Jordan Valley, a total of 44 percent of Israelis either said that IDF soldiers should not carry out orders to remove Jewish communities from the Golan 
Only 12 percent said that a Syria-Israel peace treaty alone was sufficient cause for Israel to withdraw.
Heights or gave non-committal replies. Only 26 percent feel that Israel should definitely withdraw from the Golan in exchange for a full peace agreement with Syria.
The survey, carried out last week by the Maagar Mochot research company among 520 adults from all sectors of Israeli society, showed that a majority or a plurality of Israelis consistently oppose withdrawal from the Golan. Forty-two percent said under no circumstances should Israel give up the Heights, while another 25 percent would condition a retreat from the Golan on Syria signing a full peace treaty with Israel, cutting off its relations with Iran and waiting peacefully for several years. Only 12 percent said that a Syria-Israel peace treaty alone was sufficient cause for Israel to withdraw.
In the event that there was an agreement with Syria that required the forcible removal of Israeli communities on the Golan Heights, twenty-seven percent of Israelis believe unequivocally that IDF soldiers should not carry out the expulsion orders. Another 17% gave non-committal answers, according to the polling data. Looking only at those who expressed a clear opinion, 33 percent said IDF soldiers should not execute the order to evacuate Golan communities.
Dr. Udi Lebel, a senior social sciences professor with Kinneret College, said, "This is the first time that Israeli public opinion has given such wide legitimacy to insubordination in the IDF." He went on to explain that if the survey is indeed representative of public opinion, "and the IDF is the people's army, then in practice every third soldier will object to carrying out the evacuation. And in light of this, it is doubtful that the withdrawal can be carried out."
The Maagar Mochot poll was commissioned by Kinneret College ahead of a day-long seminar to be held at the college on Thursday entitled, "War at Home? From the Disengagement to the Golan Heights." According to Dr. Lebel, other opinion polls to be presented at the seminar indicate that "the opposition to withdrawal from the Golan Heights is even greater than opposition to the division of Jerusalem."
The seminar will include panel discussions on the consequences of the 2005 Disengagement from Gaza and northern Samaria on the sociological and cultural levels. Public figures, leading academics and politicians will be in attendance, including Chairman Danny Dayan of the Judea, Samaria and Gaza (Yesha) Council , former National Security Council chief Uzi Dayan and MK Ophir Pines.
