Navigating the Intersecting Divide
This qualitative study explores the induction experiences of Palestinian Arab novice teachers in Jewish-majority schools in Israel during a period of intense national tension (2023–2025). Amid ongoing teacher shortages in the Jewish sector and a surplus of qualified teachers in the Arab sector, Boundary-Crossing Teaching (BCT) has become a notable phenomenon. Using semi-structured interviews and reflective journals of 23 beginning teachers and ei…
Developing intercultural competence in a training program for boundary-crossing Jewish and Palestinian pre-service teachers
The Essence of the New Nationalist Populism (NNP)
The rise of new nationalist populism ( NNP ) and its radical version, new messianic nationalist Populism ( NMNP ), in democracies worldwide embodies anti-global, illiberal, majoritarian, divisive, and occasionally messianic principles, characterized by a typical rhetoric that spreads extensively through digital media. This study examines the rhetoric employed by Israel’s Likud-led National Camp ( NC ) leadership – known for their populist attitud…
The educator’s role in democratic and multicultural societies
Purpose Educators are recognized as key agents of social change, responsible for shaping future citizens.

This study aims to investigate the attitudes of Jewish and Arab students toward democratic values and how they perceive their role as educators in a multicultural society. Design/methodology/approach This s…

These constraints, more restrictive in patriarchal societies, impose gender-based expectations in all aspects of life, affecting career opportunities and gender relations. Focusing on the Arab-Palestinian society in Israel, we used a questionnaire [n(men)=38; n(women)=82], and 'the social survey 2019' [n(…

Interethnic workplace relations in times of heightened social tension
Isaac Levi’s belief change methodology as a way to settle conflicting views
From Multifaceted Resistance to Multidimensional Identities
This article is the product of a study, conducted over one academic year, that followed ultra-Orthodox women students working toward Bachelor’s degrees at a secular teacher training college with the goal of getting accredited to work at Education Ministry-supervised schools and thereby improving their employment prospects. It finds that a process that began as technical and instrumental emerged as one that, under certain conditions, could affect …
I’ll Do Business with Anyone”
Given the surplus of Arab teachers and the shortage of Jewish teachers in Israel, the government has adopted the policy of employing Arab teachers in Jewish schools, contrary to the dominant nationalistic agenda. We argue that this low-cost solution meets the criteria for disruptive innovation in that it flies under the radar and has the potential to proliferate and change the existing social order. Through surveys and interviews with boundary-cr…
