I did find this quote interesting from the IDI poll[1]
> Asked by the IDI which issue should be at “the heart of the election campaign,” 54% said violence in Arab society, 16% said housing, 11% said the status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem, and only 5% said the Palestinian issue.
What I take from this is that Israeli-Arabs care a lot more about their own community as Israeli-Arabs than the prospects of their neighbors in Palestine having a free Palestinian state.
