Why would it undermine the forms of Palestinian resistance if 
Israelis -- Jewish Israelis included -- were proven to be more 
divided than some Palestinian solidarity activists believe?

Are we looking at the same report?

******   More broadly, the postwar survey asked people their views on 
the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians. By wide margins, 
most Muslim populations doubt that a way can be found for the state 
of Israel to exist so that the rights and needs of the Palestinian 
people are met. Eight-in-ten residents of the Palestinian Authority 
express this opinion. But Arabs in Israel, who voice the same 
criticisms of U.S. policy in the Middle East as do other Muslims, 
generally believe that a way can be found for the state of Israel to 
exist so that Palestinian rights and needs are addressed. In fact, 
Arabs in Israel are nearly as likely as Jews to hold that opinion 
(62% of Arabs, 68% of Jews).
