tween Jews in the Diaspora and Israel. Only 6 percent said activation of Jews as a political lobby in their respective countries should be the first priority. Asked about factors threaten- ing the continuity of the Jewish people, assimilation of Diaspora Jews was mentioned by 36 per- cent, the mixing of religion and politics by 29 percent, abandon- ing the religion by 25 percent and anti-Semitism by 25 percent. As a measure of Israelis' iden- tification with Diaspora Jews, the survey asked respondents whether they define themselves as Jewish or Israeli. The major- ity — 57 percent — defined them- selves first as Jewish, while 22 percent defined themselves as Is- raeli first. Eighteen percent de- fined themselves as equally Jewish and Israeli. Nearly half agreed with the statement that "the Jewish Agency represents all parts of the Jewish people abroad and there- fore acts as a parliament of the Diaspora Jews," but more than a quarter disagreed. The survey showed a split on the question of whether the Jew- ish Agency should confine its ac- tivities to promoting immigration to Israel. Forty-five percent agreed with the proposition that the Jewish Agency should only work for im- migration, but 36 percent op- posed that notion. In a question reflecting concern by American Jews as to why Is- rael's increased prosperity has not sparked a growth of philan- thropy in that country, the sur- vey asked Israelis the likelihood of their donating to various caus- es. Forty-three percent said the chances were good that they would donate to neighborhood and youth centers in impover- ished Israeli development towns. Such programs were at the heart of the Jewish Agency's Project Re- newal program, which linked American Jewish communities to development towns in Israel. But slightly more — 48 percent — said they would reach into their pockets to assist needy Jews in the Diaspora. The survey, part of Gallup Is- rael's regular polling of the Israeli public, included a sample of more than 600 Jewish adults. The mar- gin of error was plus or minus 4 percent.
