Almost 90 percent of Israeli Arabs regard the regime's bombardment in Lebanon last year as war crimes.

Moreover, the vast majority of Israeli Arabs continue to express anti-Israeli views highlighted in a survey conducted by Haifa University's Dean of Social Studies, Sammy Smooha, according to Israeli website Ynetnews.

The poll also revealed that a large percentage of both Jewish and Arab Israelis (60 percent of Arabs and 63.6 percent among Jews) believed that the war cast doubts on Israel's military capabilities.

Prof. Smooha said he found support for Lebanese Hezbollah Movement among Israeli Arabs since "the attacker (Israel) violated the sovereignty of an Arab country (Lebanon) and caused major damages to it."

Meanwhile, the poll showed that 28 percent of Arab citizens of Israel question the Holocaust, saying there is no justification for commemoration, DPA reported.

According to Smooha, the number of Holocaust questioners rose by 33 percent if they had been educated at high school or university.

Additionally, the study showed that over two-thirds of both Arabs and Jews want a solution to the lingering Palestinian-Israel conflict.

Muhammed Barakeh, an Isareili-Arab member of Knesset (parliament), said that the statistics on the Holocaust "are worrying. However, it seems that there is a political stance here not towards the Holocaust itself but rather a reaction to [Israel's] policies."
