Pew Research Center: "Most Israeli Jews (79%) say Jews deserve preferential treatment in Israel" [View all]

The Middle East's "democracy."

For real, imagine a study announcing, "Most White Americans (79%) say Whites deserve preferential treatment in US."

Additionally:

Jews are more likely than Arabs to say all their friends belong to their religious group. To some extent, this may reflect the fact that the majority of Israel’s population is Jewish. Two-thirds of Israeli Jews (67%) say all of their friends are Jewish. By comparison, 38% of Muslims, 21% of Christians and 22% of Druze say all their friends share their religion.
