<P><FONT face=Arial size=-1>UPI - The once unthinkable idea of Israeli ethnic
cleansing of Palestinians is becoming mainstream. The Jaffee Center for
Strategic Studies, in its annual national security poll, finds 46 percent of
Israel's Jewish voters supporting the transfer of Palestinians out of the West
Bank, while 31 percent also want Israeli Arabs to join the transfer. When the
same question was posed more subtly, 60 percent said they supported the idea of
"encouraging" the Israeli Arabs to leave . . . And 72 percent of respondents
said they opposed Israeli Arab political parties helping form Israeli
governments - which could stop any future Labor government having a Knesset
majority.</FONT></P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
