This article addresses the development of nationalist narratives in French protectorate Morocco and their role in cultivating a plural, dynamic sense of belonging among the urban Jewish communities. The three narratives examined include Arab Islamic Moroccan nationalism, political Zionism, and French cultural-linguistic assimilation, each of which included certain aspects that appealed to Jewish conceptions of allegiance and belonging. Presenting primary data in the form of interviews with Moroccan Jews who lived during the protectorate and remain in Morocco today, this article makes two contributions: first, it outlines a theoretical relationship between identity and belonging, and second, it offers primary data that undermine the popular modern dichotomous schema that views Jewish and Arab as incompatible or clashing identity categorizations
