Re Dr. Khalil Shikaki 2/3

Only 10 percent demanded permanent residence in Israel, a proportion that decreased if the refugees were told that they would have to take Israeli citizenship or that their old homes were gone.

More than half ヘ‖ total of 54 percent ヘ《aid they would accept compensation and homes in the West Bank and Gaza, or in land ceded by Israel in a swap for West Bank land, Dr. Shikaki said. Others said they would elect to stay in their host country or go to another country. Thirteen percent rejected any deal at all.

The survey had a margin of error of less than three percentage points, Dr. Shikaki said. It did not encompass the roughly 10 percent of Palestinian refugees who live in Syria, where researchers generally face government restrictions.

Dr. Shikaki said the poll's results showed that refugees were less interested in being nationalist standard-bearers than in living fuller lives. "Refugees are human beings with needs," he said. "These people want to live their lives."

Dr. Shikaki's biography shows the diverging paths refugees can take. He grew up in Gaza's dismal Rafah camp. His older brother, Fathi, a physician, founded Islamic Jihad, bent on Israel's destruction. In 1995, Fathi Shikaki was killed in Malta, apparently by Israeli agents.

Dr. Shikaki, who rejects violence, earned his Ph.D. from Columbia University and now directs the polling organization here. For his independent views, he has been threatened by both Mr. Arafat and Hamas.

He consults regularly with Israeli political scientists and plans to travel to Washington this week to present his new findings to the Brookings Institution, the Council on Foreign Relations and others.

Asked how he would respond to his survey, he said he would choose to keep living in Ramallah, not to return to his family's village in what is now the Israeli town of Rehovot.

Today, many refugees remain confined to camps like Rafah, unable to vote or otherwise join in the life of surrounding towns or cities. Some Palestinian experts say Arab and Palestinian leaders prefer to maintain the refugees as an open political wound, rather than help them integrate into other societies.

The release by the group that invaded Dr. Shikaki's office said his study "claims the vast majority of Palestinian refugees are prepared to renounce their right of return" ヘ『hich Dr. Shikaki called a deliberate misrepresentation ヘ‖nd it maintained that his results were fake.

The mob's statement carried the letterhead of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Saji Salameh, director general of that body's refugee affairs department, disavowed any connection to the rioters and criticized the violence. But he said of Dr. Shikaki's study, "We don't believe that it reflects the reality and the position of the refugees."

Asher Arian, an Israeli political scientist, called the right of return the most important issue to Israelis. But, he said, "we've seen Israeli public opinion very flexible when legitimate leadership makes an effort to lead it in that direction."
