Abstract

This paper is part of a continuing research project assessing the impact of: Israeli- Palestinian dialogue, contact in work and educational settings and Jewish-Arab perceptions. Building on a research project that began in the late 1990’s with roots in the period immediately following the 1967 Six Day War the researchers have assessed the impact of Israeli-Palestinian dialogue with emphasis on the inter-religious/cultural dimension, the impact of Jewish-Arab educational encounters and the impact of Jewish-Arab work encounters, along with genera; testing of willingness for contact with Palestinian Arabs primarily among Israeli Jewish respondents. The latest phase of this research assesses the impact of the recent Israeli-Palestinian Gaza conflict on perceptions and willingness for contact with Palestinian Arabs of approximately 200 Israeli-Jewish students surveyed at Bar-Ilan University in comparison with approximately 100 Israeli-Jewish students at the Ashkelon Regional College who were under direct assault by rocket fire from Gaza during the recent hostilities.
