    What percent of Isreal has a Jewish faith, and what percent is non-religious?

    Good first step. Now look at whether attitudes towards expulsion of Arabs from Israel is a minority view or majority view depending on that identification…

    No, and that’s messed up, especially given the risks they face in Palestine.
