"Since 2005, over 60,000 refugees from sub-Saharan African have migrated to Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response to this pattern has provoked a contentious debate among government leaders both within and outside of Israeli. This summer I hope to research public perceptions of this topic, particularly those of Israeli youth." -Stephanie Nevel, 2013
