The director of the Jabotinsky Institute, Gideon Mitchnik, summarizes the situation revealed by the investigation: "Before the day of Jabotinsky's death, we launched an investigation. by the Rafi Smith Institute among young people, graduates and the Arab sector, because of the ignorance and the very worrying lack of knowledge that we encounter almost every day among young people, soldiers and d & # 39; 39, other people. The experience and the survey itself generate in-depth discussions about the education system and how to convey Zionism. "At our disappointment and at our joy at the same time, the results of the survey were different from what we meet and even: the majority, adults and young people, seem to know something about Jabotinsky.We have many challenges and a long way to bring Jabotinsky to people in a creative and relevant way while adapting the message to all audiences.
