70% of the Jews surveyed feel a historical connection to Judea and Samaria, 63% an emotional connection, and 48% a religious connection.
In comparison, only 37% of Israeli Arabs feel a historical connection to the West Bank, 33% an emotional connection and 32% a religious connection.
Keep in mind that the Maarat HaMachpela in Hebron is considered to be the Ibrahimi Mosque by Muslims, and even Rachel's Tomb and Joseph's Tomb have been turned into Islamic shrines. And Jews are on the whole far less religious than Muslims are. Even so, Israeli Jews are twice as likely to say they feel a connection to the territories than Arabs are.
