Poll: Most Arab Israelis back MKs’ meeting with terrorists’ families
A majority of Arab Israelis feel Joint (Arab) List MKs did not make a mistake by visiting the bereaved families of Palestinian terrorists killed while carrying out attacks on Israelis, but said the factions lawmakers who condemned Gulf states for declaring Hezbollah a terror group were wrong to do so, according to a Channel 2 television poll published Thursday.
The survey conducted by the Midgam Institute found that 65 percent of respondents agreed with a decision by MKs from the Balad party, one of four parties that comprise the Joint List Knesset faction, to meet with family members of Palestinian terrorists whose bodies were held by Israeli authorities. Just 17% agreed that the move was a mistake.

The Channel 2 poll also found that 56% of respondents disagreed with two Joint List parties Hadash and Balad for condemning the Gulf Arab states, while just under one fifth (19%) said they approved of the move. The remaining quarter said they either dont know if the condemnation was justified or declined to answer.
