This one lays bare an image of Israeli society, and the picture is a very, very sick one. Now it is not just critics at home and abroad, but Israelis themselves who are openly, shamelessly, and guiltlessly defining themselves as nationalistic racists.Were racists, the Israelis are saying, we practice apartheid and we even want to live in an apartheid state. Yes, this is Israel.Among its terrifying results, the survey discovers a certain innocent candor. The Israelis admit this is what they are and theyre not ashamed of it. Such surveys have been held before, but Israelis have never appeared so pleased with themselves, even when they admit their racism. Most of them think Israel is a good place to live in and most of them think this is a racist state.
