The survey also revealed that 96 percent of the respondents want "Israel" to be a Jewish and democratic state, but 27 percent believe that those who object should be tried in court and 41 percent support stripping them of their citizenship.

On another note, and in regard to motivation to serve in the IDF, 83 percent said that they don't doubt that they will serve, but 59 percent said that they do not want to serve in combat units of the army.
