Palestinians in Israel
While the international community and regional powers in the Middle East are focussing on finding a solution to Israel's 'external problem' - the future of the occupied West Bank and Gaza strip - another political conflict is emerging on the domestic Israel scene: the question of the future status of Israel's Palestinian minority within the 1967 borders. The Palestinian minority in Israel are currently experiencing a new trend in their political …

Israel in the Post Oslo Era
The 2015 Israeli General Election
The results of the 2015 Israeli election, primarily the sweeping victory of Binyamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, surprised most analysts. In this article we employ political scientist Michael Oakeshott’s distinction in arguing that the campaign dynamics and the consequent electoral results reflect the triumph of a “politics of skepticism” among Jews, and the emergence of a “politics of faith” among Israel’s Arab-Palestinian citizens. Both derive fro…
Seeking an Egalitarian State in Palestine/Israel
Democracy and distributiveness
Many culturally heterogeneous societies with functioning democratic regimes nonetheless fail to grant equal status to different ethnic and cultural groups within their borders. To a great extent, scholars discuss such inequalities within the analytical boundaries of the discourse on democracy and democratization. We argue that such discussions overstretch the concept of democracy. In this research, we offer a novel axis of inquiry, namely distrib…
Explaining Political Islam
This article aims to present a comprehensive explanation of the development of Islamic political movements among the Palestinians. It focuses specifically on the analysis of three Islamic movements: two that are active among the Palestinians of Israel (e.g. the 1948 territories)—the Southern Islamic movement and the Northern Islamic movement—and the Hamas movement that is active among Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Through the anal…
The 2013 Israeli General Election
Despite resulting in a different party configuration, the results of the 2013 Israeli general election support a similar agenda to the one set by the previous government. A year following its establishment, all indicators suggest that the current government continues to deepen neoliberal policies. Nevertheless, this election reflects two important trends: first, an ever growing discontent in Israeli public that probably would not find a solution …
Understanding Ethnic Minority Demands
The development of demands advanced by ethnic minorities has received broad coverage in the scholarly literature on divided societies. Current literature offers models that predict a radicalization of minority demands as the result of diverse factors, including modernization processes, discrimination, and a mother country's support for the minority's demands. The present article offers an alternative approach, one that combines the type of minori…
The Expanding Ethnocracy Judaization of the Public Sphere
The Palestinians in Israel
The Palestinians in Israel are those Palestinians who remained on their land during the Nakba in 1948, and later became Israeli citizens. The political discourse of Palestinians in Israel has moved during the last two decades, since the Oslo agreement, from the individual achievements level to the politics of rights on the collective level, and to the politics of identity. This discourse is considered of utmost importance in the politics of indig…
Strategies of electoral participation by Islamic movements
Most scholarly and public perceptions and analyses of political Islam are beset by prejudice and misunderstandings. Political Islam movements are presented as irrational and obstinate, stubbornly refusing to change despite the circumstances with rigid beliefs and political tactics with an anti-democratic orientation. This article argues that the relationship between political Islam and democracy as a whole, and its participation in the political …
Ethnic Politics in Israel
This book offers an analysis on contemporary Israeli democracy, examining in particular society and politics from the perspectives of the different ethnic groups outside of the Ashkenazi mainstream. The book explores the political expressions of the secondary groups in Israel (Mizrahim, Religious, Russians and Palestinian-Arab) and how these groups where treated by the Ashkinazim as a threat to its hegemony over the state. Looking at the instabil…
The Empowering of the Israeli Extreme Right in the 18th Knesset Elections
The Israeli general elections that were held on 10 February 2009 resulted in a historical victory for the right and a vast defeat for the ‘Historical Israeli left’. The Israeli ‘extreme right’, to the right of the Likud, rejects any ‘concessions’ for the Palestinians, supports the continuation of the settlements and holds racist views against the Arabs, won 38 seats – a historical achievement since the creation of the state of Israel. While, on t…
The Bi-National State Solution
The article analyzes the recent debate concerning the Bi-National state option as a future scenario of the settlement in Palestine/Israel. Supporters of the idea claim that the idea of separation between Israel and Palestine and the partition of the country into two independent states is impossible and unrealistic. Moreover—this solution is unlikely to lead toward a just and comprehensive end to the conflict. On the other hand, the opponents of t…
Arab Local Government in Israel
About one-third of all local and regional councils in Israel are Arab. Ever since their establishment, and especially during the last decade, the Arab authorities have suffered from financial crises and from administrative and organisational deficiencies that jeopardize their functioning. Arab local politics is characterised by the increased strength of traditional clan-affiliated forces, at the expense of modern representative groups. The presen…
Democratizing “Ethnic States
Palestinian Politics after Arafat
This article attempts to understand the internal situation of the Palestinians and their national movement at the start of the twenty-first century. I hereby attempt to trace and analyze concrete aspects of the state of the Palestinian national movement in the post-Oslo era. What happened during the past decade to the Palestinians in general, and to their national movement in particular, led to the internal and external failure. Externally, this …

This article deals with the question of binationality in the Israeli Jewish–Palestinian framework in Israel/Palestine. The first part presents the relevant theoretical background, and the second sets forth the guidelines which lead one to think that the binational concept in Israel/Palestine is the only possible solution. The third part discusses the historical roots for the progress of the idea in Jewish and Palestinian thought. The fourth enume…

The connection between ethnicity and democracy has been the subject of much debate among scholars in various disciplines. This article deals with the ethnic divisions and the debate over democracy in Israel. How Israel should be defined, with regard to the democracy-ethnic affiliation nexus, has long been debated by scholars in the field. Some present Israel as a consociational democracy. Some Israeli scholars consider Israel to be a liberal demo…

Citizenship and the parliamentary politics of minorities in ethnic states
Equal citizenship in multi‐ethnic states entails that citizens, regardless of ethnic affiliation, have equal influence on the political system through voting and other forms of political participation. Ethnic states often curb the minority's ability to influence the ethnic political system through a variety of control mechanisms. This article examines how the ethnic Jewish character of Israel places the Palestinian minority in a political predica…

The Palestinian minority in Israel
The Palestinian minority in Israel, like minorities elsewhere in the modern world, has produced a demand for personal and group equality in the State of Israel. Developments in this sphere support the descriptions of the development of other minorities in various empirical and theoretical studies of societies that are deeply split on an ethnic or national basis. Minorities struggle in various situations against discrimination in order to achieve …
