More than one in four Israeli Arabs are Holocaust deniers, a survey  found.

According to the Haifa University poll released Sunday, 28  percent 
of Israeli Arabs say they do not believe the Nazi genocide  took 
place. Israeli commentators said the findings reflected growing 
resentment of the Zionist establishment by Israeli Arabs, especially 
in light of the diplomatic deadlock on the Palestinian front.


According to the poll, the incidence of Holocaust denial is 
especially high - 33 percent - among Israeli Arabs of school age 
even though the syllabus of Arab schools in Israel include mandatory 
classes on 20th century European history, including World War II.

The  poll had 721 Israeli Arab respondents and a margin of error of 
plus  or minus 4.5 percentage points.
