But the survey revealed less enthusiasm among American Jews than a similar poll found a year ago, immediately after the signing of the Declaration of Prin- ciples between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organiza- tion. According to the survey of 1,000 American Jews conduct- ed in mid-August, 77 percent sup- ported the Israeli government's handling of the peace negotia- tions with the Arabs, and 10 per- cent oppose. This compares to 84 r percent in support of the Israeli government a year ago. Similarly, 61 percent of those •surveyed believed that the plan for Palestinian autonomy in- creases the chance for peace with the Arabs, down from 73 percent a year ago. "People responded in a less eu- phoric, more realistic manner," said David Harris, AJCommit- • tee's executive director. He noted that the survey indi- cated that "the Arabs, and par- ticularly the PLO, have not persuaded a number of American Jews that they can be trusted and relied upon in this process." Only 18 percent of those sur- veyed believed the PLO could be relied upon "to honor its agree- ments and refrain from terrorist activity against Israel." Sixty-five percent did not trust the PLO. A year ago, 34 percent felt the PLO could be relied upon. The poll found one group res- olutely opposed to the peace ac- cord: the Orthodox. This reflects a shift from last year, when they were already "the most skeptical group," said \-) Mr. Singer, but had a majority that approved of the peace talks. Only 35 percent of the Ortho- dox respondents supported the way the Israeli government has handled the peace negotiations, with 54 percent opposed. A year ago, 52 percent of the Orthodox supported it, and only 32 percent opposed. Meanwhile, the Israel Policy /–) Forum — organized last year to rally support behind the policies of Prime Minister Yitzhak Ra- bin's Labor Party — this week re- leased two other surveys, one of the American public as a whole and one of the Israeli public. In its survey of 1,000 Ameri- cans, the group found that Amer- icans held a favorable view of the • Israeli government's peace efforts • by a solid 57 percent majority, with 22 percent holding an unfa- vorable view and the remainder unsure.
