Following the use of chemical weapons against Syrian citizens, US President Obama began making preparations for a US military attack to punish the regime of the Syrian president. With lines extending at gas-mask distribution points, nervous Israeli citizens were preparing for a possible Syrian attack. The present study explored the associations among individual, community and national resilience, and the sense of danger on perceived stress among Israeli Jews and Arabs in the midst of this security uncertainty. Methods: Using the web-based research software - Qualtrics - a community sample of 435 individuals (n = 244 Jews and n = 191 non-Jews, 57 5% males) completed brief versions of a personal resilience scale (CD-RISC 2; Vaishnavi, Connor & Davidson, 2007), a community resilience scale (CCRAM-10; Leykin, Lahad, Cohen, Goldberg & Aharonson-Daniel, 2013), a national resilience scale (Kimhi et al., 2013), a single item stress question (Elo, Leppanen & Kahkola, 2003) and 3 items from the sense of danger scale (Solomon & Prager, 1992). Results: Jews reported significantly higher levels than Arabs on measures of resilience, ηp2 = .28, p < .001, and levels of general stress and sense of danger, ηp2 = .17 & ηp2 = .10, p < .001. A multiple regression analysis revealed that for both Arabs and Jews, a sense of danger was significantly associated with stress. Individual and community resilience also interacted with ethnicity on stress: among Arabs, individual and community resilience (controlling for age and personal resilience) negatively tended to predict stress, while among Jews this effect was not evident. Discussion: During times of uncertainty, individual and community resilience can be an asset for reducing subjective stress among minority populations in Israel; therefore, it is recommended to maintain and build community capacities during routine.
