Israeli Jews and Palestinians tend to favor opposite radical solutions to their conflict, according to a 1985 study just released by two leading Israeli sociologists. Nearly 43 percent of the Jews agree that annexing the West Bank and Gaza Strip and expelling their Arab population was an acceptable resolution to the conflict, the study found. It also disclosed that Arabs within Israel and on the West Bank are strongly Center Designates March 'Aquatics Mitzvah Month' March, designated as "Aquatics Mitzvah Month", will enable swimmers at the Leo Yassenoff JewishCenter to swim for themselves and help others at the same time, according to Polly True, Aquatics" Director.

In addition, swimmers with disabilities who are in the Center's Red Cross Adapted Aquatics Program will take part in an Adapted Swim for Diabetes which will be held today, Thursday, March 3, to raise funds for the Central Ohio Diabetes Association. This program is free and open to the public. The Harold Monett Swim Marathon enables lap swimmers to keep track of the mileage they swim at the Jewish Center during the mohth.

' -7 These are some of the main conclusions of research by Professor Ephraim Yuchtman-Yaar, dean of the faculty of social sciences at Tel Aviv University, and Professor Michael Inbar of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The authors point out that this was the first study directly to compare the views of the Israeli Arab, West Bank Arab and Israeli Jewish populations. Some 1,800 Israelis—about two-thirds Jewish and one- third Arab and representing all segments of the adult population — were interviewed for the survey. Because of budgetary constraints, the West Bank sample was limited to 200 young, urban males—on the principle that they represent the most politically aware group in the population. All interviewees were presented with ten possible solutions to the problem of the West Bank and Gaza Strip: • A Palestinian state that would expel the Jews. • A bi-national state with equal. rights, for Jews and Palestinians. .> An independent Palestinian state within pre-1967 borders. • A Jordanian-Palestinian state within pre-1967 borders. • An independent Palestinian state with border modifications in accordance with Israel's security needs. ■" • A Jordanian-Palestinian state, with border modifications. • Full autonomy to Palestinians in the occupied territories. • Continuation of the status quo. • Annexation of the occupied territories to Israel, without expulsion of the Palestinians. ; • Participants in the study were asked to choose their "ideal" solution to the conflict and then an "acceptable" solution. After surveying the views of Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs and West Bank Palestinians, the study found that West Bankers would accept no solution that falls short of an independent Palestinian state—preferably one which <$WK$.

Among the Jews, opinion was so fragmented that no solution was able to muster a simple majority. The solution that gained most favor as acceptable—43 percent- was annexation of the administered territories and expulsion of, the Palestinians. That solution was found to be ideal by 30 percent of the Jews questioned. Thirty-five percent of West Bank Palestinians favored replacing Israel with a Palestinian state and expelling the Jewish population while 53 percent found such a solution acceptable. Israeli Arabs were more moderate than either Jews or West Bankers. Eleven percent found desirable the establishment of a Palestinian state that would expel its Jewish residents, while 23 percent said this would be acceptable. Among Jews, the second- place idea in acceptability was the Jordanian-Palestinian state with modified borders, which mustered 37.6 percent. But Palestinians generally rejected this notion — 12.9 percent of Palestinians and 20.7 percent of Israeli Arabs found the idea acceptable. The West Bank Palestinians and Israeli Arabs—in contrast to the deeply divided Jews — were strongly united. A majority of West Bankers, as well as 78 percent of Israeli Arabs, said they would accept a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Almost any solution involving some kind of independent state was found acceptable by West Bank Palestinians, with 64 percent saying they could support a bi-national democratic state, 54 percent a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza and 45 percent a Palestinian state with modified borders.
