Detailed explanation-1: -49.5% supported the establishment of a Palestinian state in all of Palestine, to replace Israel. 69.6% of the Arabs did not accept Israel’s right to exist as a state that retains a Jewish majority. 82.2% of the Arab respondents accused the Jews of [perpetuating] the Nakba.
Detailed explanation-2: -On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was created, sparking the first Arab-Israeli War.
