Israeli Opinion of Nixon
Rises; Military Aid Cited

NEW YORK — The man in the
street in Israel has a higher opin-
ion of President Nixon today than
ever before. This is revealed in a
new puhlic opinion survey, just
conducted there by Public Opinion
Research of Israel Ltd. and re-
ported here by the American
Jewish Committee.
The survey shows that 70 per
cent of those questioned were satis-
fied with President Nixon's attitude
toward Israel, with an additional
23 per cent stating that they were
"more or less" satisfied with him,
In summer 1970, only 23 per
cent of Israelis questioned

In explaining the figures, PORI

these students in 1970 caused a

over the issue of Israel. The more
conservative Arabs want to limit
hostility to Israel alone.
Activist Palestinian students pre-
fer anonymity as long as their
families are living under Israeli
rule, the article said, adding that
they fear Israeli reprisals and the
jeopardizing of their own chances
of returning home.
Many Arab students who come
to the U.S. follow relatives who
have come before. Many are found
in Detroit, Chicago, Houston and
Los Angeles. In Brooklyn, there are
