more than half the page, is a photo of an Israeli policewoman shepherding to safety an Israeli woman who clearly
has been the victim of a bombing attack.

Shows that a majority of Israelis (62%) supports a two-state solution while 33% oppose it. Among the Palestinians,
53% support and 46% oppose the two-state solution. However, findings also show that Israelis and Palestinians
