In mid-September 2012 a poll surveying Israeli attitudes was commissioned by the Yisraela Goldblum Fund and conducted on the eve of Rosh Hashanah by the polling agency Dialog, The results were first presented to the public by Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy on October 23, 2012, under the headline:'Survey: Most Israeli Jews would support apartheid regime in Israel.' In the wake of a controversy, Haaretz emended this to 'Survey: Most Israeli Jews wouldn't give Palestinians vote if West Bank was annexed', stating that the original headline 'did not accurately reflect the findings of the Dialog poll'.〔 According to Haaretz, in the poll, 58% of respondents said Israel practiced apartheid against the Palestinians,〔(Israeli poll finds majority would be in favour of 'apartheid' policies (The Guardian, October 23, 2012) )〕 and a third said Israeli Arabs should be denied the vote in Israel.〔(The new Israeli apartheid: Poll reveals widespread Jewish support for policy of discrimination against Arab minority (The Independent, October 23, 2012) )〕 Both the poll and Haaretz's presentation of its results have been challenged. == Polling agency == Dialog is run by Prof. Camil Fuchs, Haaretz's in-house pollster,〔(‘Camil Fuchs,’ ) at Haaretz, 5 September 2006.〕 and head of the Department of Statistics at Tel Aviv University's School of Mathematical Sciences. According to Haaretz, the questionnaire was written by a group of academic, peace, political and civil rights activists.〔 The group consisted of the former director general of the Foreign Ministry and Israel ambassador to Turkey Alon Liel,〔http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/MFAArchive/2000_2009/2001/4/Dr%2520Alon%2520Liel〕 who is married to New Israel Fund Israel's Executive Director Rachel Liel; former ambassador to South Africa Ilan Baruch,〔http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/veteran-diplomat-s-rebuke-of-netanyahu-lieberman-strikes-chord-with-colleagues-1.346790〕 member of the New Israel Fund International Council;〔(New Israel Fund International Council )〕 former chief of education in the IDF Mordechai Bar-On, member of the New Israel Fund International Council;〔 and human rights lawyer Michael Sfard, legal counsel to several recipients of grants from the New Israel Fund, including Yesh Din, Breaking the Silence, Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity Movement.〔(Democracy in Recession: On accountability and ‘price tag’ politics in Israel )〕〔Elhanan Miller, ('Haaretz changes tack on major story that alleged widespread ‘apartheid’ attitudes in Israel,' ) at The Times of Israel, October 30, 2012.〕 The questionnaire consisted of 17 questions put to a sampling group of 503 interviewees, differentiated in terms of secular, traditional, religious, ultra-Orthodox and Russian.〔Gideon Levy , ('Survey: Most Israeli Jews would support apartheid regime in Israel,’ ) at Haaretz, 23 October 2012〕〔Geoffrey Alderman, (‘Facts behind a skewed survey,’ ) at Jewish Chronicle. November 2, 2012〕 The margin of error was 4.3〔Elhanan Miller, ('Haaretz changes tack on major story that alleged widespread ‘apartheid’ attitudes in Israel,' ) at The Times of Israel, October 30, 2012,〕 Though originally reported as connected to the poll, the New Israel Fund quickly dissociated itself from the survey.〔Shany Mor, (‘Apartheid’ poll: Errors that traveled round the world,’ ) at Haaretz, 29 October 2012: ‘The New Israel Fund, beleaguered target of a recent right-wing witch-hunt, has distanced itself from the survey, with which it was erroneously credited with commissioning.’〕 The poll results were first published in Haaretz by Gideon Levy, initially with the following headline:’ Survey: Most Israeli Jews would support apartheid regime in Israel.’ Levy’s presentation stirred headlines round the world,〔Shany Mor,(‘Apartheid’ poll: Errors that traveled round the world,’ ) at Haaretz, 29 October 2012〕 and was repeated 〔Gideon Levy, ('Israelis Support Anti-Arab Discrimination: Poll. Most Favor Apartheid-Style Rules Favoring Jews,' ) at The Forward, 23 October 2012.〕 or taken up rapidly by several newspapers that same day, including The Independent,〔Catrina Stewart, ('The new Israeli apartheid: Poll reveals widespread Jewish support for policy of discrimination against Arab minority,' ) at The Independent, 23 October 2012〕 Sydney Morning Herald〔Ruth Pollard, ('Israelis back discrimination against Arabs: poll,’ ) at Sydney Morning Herald, 24 October 2012〕 the Daily Telegraph,〔Adrian Blomfield, ('Israelis favour discrimination against Arabs - poll,' ) at Daily Telegraph, 23 October 2012〕 and the Christian Science Monitor.〔Christa Case Bryant, (Momentum builds for Gaza to secede, Israel and West Bank to become one,' ) at Christian Science Monitor, 24 October 2012.〕 AFP excluded the word ‘apartheid’ and headlined its report ‘Israelis approve discrimination if West Bank is annexed’.〔AFP, (Israelis approve discrimination if West Bank annexed: poll,’ ) at AFP, 23 October 2012.〕 The following day, the Huffington Post.〔('Israeli Jews Believe The Country Already Practices Apartheid Against Its Arabs, Survey Shows,' ) at the Huffington Post, 24 October 2012〕 the government-funded Russian news service, RT,〔(‘Israel an apartheid state? A majority of Jews say yes,’ ) at RT, 24 October 2012〕 and The Guardian reported on Haaretz's poll, the latter placing the word ‘apartheid’ in inverted commas.〔Guardian Reporter, (Poll shows majority Israelis falour “apartheid” policies,’ ) at The Guardian, 24 October 2012.〕 Within several hours of the Haaretz article, HonestReporting published a detailed critique of Levy’s presentation of the poll evidence.〔Simon Plosker, (‘Ha’aretz Creates Non-Existent Apartheid State,’ ) at HonestReporting, pp.1-2, 23 October 2012. p.2.〕 which, as the controversy developed, Haaretz published a correction to five days later, changing the headline to ‘Survey: Most Israeli Jews wouldn't give Palestinians vote if West Bank was annexed,’ 〔Gideon Levy, (Most Israeli Jews wouldn't give Palestinians vote if West Bank was annexed,’ ) at Haaretz, 23 October 2012: CLARIFICATION: The original headline for this piece, 'Most Israelis support an apartheid regime in Israel,' did not accurately reflect the findings of the Dialog poll. The question to which most respondents answered in the negative did not relate to the current situation, but to a hypothetical situation in the future: 'If Israel annexes territories in Judea and Samaria, should 2.5 million Palestinians be given the right to vote for the Knesset?' .’〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「October 2012 Yisraela Goldblum Fund poll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
