lieved that the Arabs are right (that they have every right,
moral and otherwise, to Palestine) ; while none of our respon-
dents believed that the Israelis are right. However, the majority,
76 respondents or 76.0 per cent believed that both Arabs and
Israelis have some right and both are partially blamed for the
problem. Although the category “both Arabs and Israelis have
some right and both are partially blamed for the problem”
implies that Arabs and Israelis are equally blamed for the
problem, several respondents qualified it by adding the state-
ment “Arabs are mainly in the right,” or by saying “‘Arabs
are essentially right but they are partially blamed for the
1967 war.’ We can conclude from the qualifications made
by many respondents who came in the above category that
a majority of our respondents believe that the heavy blame
falls on Israel. 2 per cent of our sample gave no answer.
