Summary/Abstract: This research on the political tolerance among youth (high school and university students) is based on the theory and concepts by J. Sullivan and his associates (1979). The level of political tolerance of our respondents towards the least liked group depends largely upon group itself, and the content of political freedom that is tolerable or intolerable. Averaging the responses to the six questions of political tolerance, only 35 percent of the respondents displayed political tolerance. This level of tolerance is closer to that of Israeli citizens than American or British.
