Peace Process
Gets Support

Washington (JTA) — Results of
a new nationwide survey of
American Jews reveal that they
are as supportive of the Middle
East peace process as they were
last fall, during the euphoric pe-
riod that followed the signing of
the declaration of principles be-
tween Israel and the Palestine
Liberation Organization.
The poll of 500 randomly se-
lected American Jews, conduct-
ed May 10-12, showed that 88
percent of respondents support-
ed the peace process and only 5
percent opposed it.
In addition, there was strong
support among respondents for
the Palestinian self-rule agree-
ment that went into effect this
month, with 78 percent support-
ing it and 9 percent in opposition.
The poll was commissioned by
the Israel Policy Forum, an
American Jewish group linked to
the Israeli Labor Party, and was
conducted by two leading Demo-
cratic pollsters, Stanley Green-
berg— who is President Clinton's
pollster — and Mark Mellman.
Mr. Greenberg, Mr. Mellman,
and Israel Policy Forum Presi-
dent Robert Lifton — former
head of the American Jewish
Congress — released the poll at
a news conference here.
Organizers said it was the first
poll of its kind to be conducted
since last fall, when surveys in-
dicated overwhelming levels of
support for the peace process in
the wake of the historic White
House handshake between Is-
raeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Ra-
bin and Palestine Liberation
Organization Chairman Yassir
Arafat.
The poll revealed mixed emo-
tions among respondents as far
as the peace process is concerned,
with 85 percent considering
themselves "cautious," 84 percent
saying they are "hopeful," and
three-fourths saying they are
both cautious and hopeful.
In recent months, there have
been indications of a drop-off in
support among the Israeli public
for the peace process, as people
have reacted to delays in imple-
menting the accord and to a se-
ries of terrorist attacks
throughout the country.
But the results of this survey
suggest that American Jews are
far more supportive of the process
than their Israeli counterparts.
Results indicated that those
most supportive of the Gaza-Jeri-
cho agreement are well-educated,
wealthy, high contributors to
Jewish groups, and those who
have visited Israel.
The survey results show very
high favorable ratings for the Is-
raeli prime minister, with 84 per-
cent of respondents rating him
positively and only 7 percent neg-
atively.
