A Third Of Israelis Identify As Bisexual

The news comes in the wake of similar surveys in England and the U.S.

On the heels of similar surveys in Great Britain and the United States, a new poll of Israelis indicates a full third say their sexual identity is somewhere on the bisexual spectrum.

The Israeli website Mako and the Pannels Institute asked 600 secular Israeli Jews last month about their orientation: The majority, 67%, declared they were "exclusively heterosexual," and only 3% said they were “exclusively homosexual."

The remaining 30% of those surveyed characterized themselves as somewhere between a 1 and 5 on the Kinsey scale.

Information on demographics was not provided, though all 600 respondents were over 18.

The survey did not include observant Jews, who are a minority in Israel but wield considerable political clout.

The brutal attack on Jerusalem Pride that left one woman dead and a half-dozen wounded has galvanized the public: Last month thousands marched in demonstrations around the country to protest anti-gay violence.
