Everybody Hates, Jerusalem Post, October 22, 2000 "Dr. Dahlia Moore, from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the College of Management, has recently published the results of a study among nearly 5,000 Jewish and 1,200 Israeli Arab high school students, age 15-18. Put simply, the study sought to find out 'who likes whom and who hates whom' within Israeli society. Summing up her results, Moore says, 'These students, the future of our society, carry a tremendous amount of hatred towards each other' ... Overall, 47% of the Jewish students hate haredim, 51% hate settlers and 50% hate Arabs. When Moore sub-divided the Jewish group according to ethnic (Ashkenazi or Mizrahi), religious (religious-traditional or secular), and political (Left or Right) backgrounds, the findings became more complicated and more troubling ... 'The kind of hatred that we found in our study simply doesn't dissipate over a few years ... The point is that this should be a warning to our society. These kids hate, and with such depths of hatred, our society is in deep trouble. When you hate someone because they are different from you, you might also start to think that this person is somehow less worthy, less entitled to the same rights and privileges, less human' ... Nissim Calderon, Tel Aviv University lecturer and author of the recently published, Multi-culturalism vs. Pluralism in Israel, [said:} 'It's come to the point that hating is almost the only way to relate to people you don't agree with. And that is very sad, and very, very frightening.'"
