Public opinion has played a crucial role in the transitions from
war to peace in Israel since the 1967 Six Day war. Security
Threatened is the first major analysis of the interactions among
opinion, politics and policy in that period, based on opinion
surveys of thousands of adult Jews conducted between 1962 and 1994.
The public divided during those years into militant hardliners and
more conciliatory security positions, and power either shifted
between, or was shared by, the Likud and Labour parties. In the
late 1980s and early 1990s, with the onset of the intifada, the
collapse of the Soviet Union, and the American victory in the Gulf
War, all segments of the Israeli public became more conciliatory.
Policy initiatives reflected shifts in political power which in
turn magnified changes in public opinion. Leaders were constrained
by public opinion and by perceptions of threat, but they could also
alter policy if they had the will because opinion was rather
equally divided; since most people had their minds made up, the
opposition could not block their policy.
