Would the pollees themselves agree to join a Palestinian State when it is established about 78% refuse and 11.5% are ready to do so. The main reasons they note for their agreement are: since I am a Palestinian (61.4%), because of the existence of manifestations of racism against Arabs (24.1%) and because of family members on the other side (10.8%).

Of those who prefer to remain in the State of Israel, almost one-half (48.4%) stated that the reason is that they have become used to living in the State of Israel. 32.5% see a transfer to the Palestinian State as a forfeiture of their homeland and of the brotherhood of the Arab community in Israel. The economic situation plays a role only for 5.1% and the feeling of freedom in Israel as compared to what would be in a Palestinian State 8.3%.

Note that the 24% who would move to Palestine because of racism in Israel represents just ~3% overall (24% of 12%).
this site is among the minority out there that appears neutrally balanced with a concern for humanity as a whole opposed to one group. Thanks for the excellent link.
