A poll conducted by The Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research shows that, contrary to some misconceptions, Israeli public admiration and sympathy for the population of Yesha is on its way up. For instance, 75% of the respondents feel equally troubled by attacks on either side of the Green Line, and that the government must respond equally forcefully to both. Even among those who voted for the left-wing Meretz party, 61% feel this way. 58% say that settlements contribute to the nation\'s security, and 63% feel that past Israeli governments were right in establishing the settlements. On the other hand, 40% say they would be in favor of \"evacuating ALL the settlements in case they are the last obstacle to a final agreement with the Palestinians.\" Tami Steinmetz herself told Arutz-7 today that this number is \"surprising, because in the past, less than 30% said they would even favor evacuating MOST of the settlements under such circumstances.\" 40% still support Oslo, but only 16% believe it will bring peace.
