Israeli <bb>>Arabb>bb>> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though they coexist as two self-segregated communities, over the years Jewish and <bb>>Arabb>bb>> Israelis have come to accept each other, acknowledging the uniqueness and aspirations of each community and participating in a growing number of joint endeavors.
Christian Israeli Arabs comprise about 9% of the Israeli <bb>>Arabb>bb>> population, and reside mostly in the north, Nazareth having the largest Christian <bb>>Arabb>bb>> population.
Since 2001, a growing number [25] of Israeli Arabs have participated in terror acts against Israeli civilians: On September 9, 2001 was the first (and only) Israeli <bb>>Arabb>bb>> suicide bomber attack, on a group of soldiers and civilians disembarking a train in the Nahariya station, killing 3 people and wounding at least 90.

The Chronicle: 7/26/2002: Why We Should Not Boycott Israeli Academics

Israeli universities have <bb>>Arabb>bb>>-Israeli students and have conducted hundreds of joint projects with their counterparts in the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Israeli academics tend to be left of center, and finding one who expresses something other than deep distaste for Sharon is no easy task.
The massive usurpation of land and water resources since the Israeli capture of the territories in 1967, the illegal settling of about 200,000 colonists there, and the harsh and humiliating treatment of an essentially colonized population has provoked a good deal of Israel's problems with the Palestinians.

The Promise of <bb>>Arabb>bb>> Liberalism

But when the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> participants drafted a final communiqué for the press conference that included mild criticisms of U.S. policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a MEPI representative compelled a last-minute change in the schedule, ensuring that the women were not in attendance at the right time to present their communiqué.
Many of the programs in MEPI's other three "pillars"—economic reform, educational reform, and women's empowerment—are worthy development projects, and many will no doubt improve the quality of life for <bb>>Arabb>bb>> men, women, and children.
Some <bb>>Arabb>bb>> liberal activists are lawyers, professors, and journalists challenging the de facto political rules by demanding enforcement of the rules as stated in their postcolonial constitutions.

Yehuda Shenhav: Jews from <bb>>Arabb>bb>> Countries and the Palestinian Right for Return

The <bb>>Arabb>bb>> past of the Mizrahi Jews threatened to affect the coherence of the homogeneous Israeli nation and to blur the boundary between Jews and Arabs.
The objection of non-Israeli Jews to the symbolic use of their property was regarded by the Israeli Foreign Ministry and WOJAC as both threatening the jurisdiction of the State and sharpening the distinction between the two poles.
Jews immigrated to Israel, so both of those elements played a part in their immigration to Israel.

Free Lebanon - Assad, Nasser and the Problem of Tradition

He fully participated in the 1973 attack on Israel that was to redress the balance of power between the Arabs and Israelis.
While the Western media obsesses over the impact of Assads death on the <bb>>Arabb>bb>>-Israeli relationship, his death and life represents a far more interesting prism through which to view the changing landscape of the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> world itself.
Assads life passed through the phases of one of the most important movements to have swept the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> world secular, pan-<bb>>Arabb>bb>> socialism.

Essay: <bb>>Arabb>bb>> and Christian

Israeli <bb>>Arabb>bb>> Christians sometimes sneer at Bethlehemites as “internationals” whose Palestinian patriotism is insufficiently displayed, but Joshua Hammer’s book A Season in Bethlehem makes clear just how tough Palestinian militants have made it for Christians in the Bethlehem-Beit Jala-Beit Sahour triangle, the home to 70 percent of the West Bank’s Christian population.
<bb>>Arabb>bb>> Christians, he says, are a community of faith and tradition.
So, while there is considerable support, in the oriental Catholic churches at least, for an <bb>>Arabb>bb>> Christian identity, there are significant pockets of resistance and, in the case of the Assyrians, persecution for refusal to assimilate.

Dove's Eye View: Culture

The play, which debuted at the respected Cameri Theatre last week, is the creation of its cast, a mix of Israeli <bb>>Arabb>bb>> and Jewish actors who drew on real life scenes from the conflict, including some from their personal experiences.
In one scene, Yousef Sweid, an <bb>>Arabb>bb>> Israeli who grew up in Haifa, plays the role of a senior Israeli officer overseeing the cover-up of an army shooting of a Palestinian boy.
When Israeli soldiers opened an exhibit this month documenting some of their own misdeeds while serving in the tense West Bank city of Hebron, they caused a brief stir.

"The Other Refugees: Jews of the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> World" by George E. Gruen

The Jews that remained within the confines of other <bb>>Arabb>bb>> states after the mass exoduses of the late 1940s and early 1950s experienced periods of marked hardship, violence and discrimination interspersed with periods of relative quiet, mirroring the ebb and flow of the <bb>>Arabb>bb>>-Israeli conflict and the domestic political and economic situations.
As a result of these events, the Jews of <bb>>Arabb>bb>> countries in effect became political refugees, that is, persons who had a well-founded fear of persecution and consequently fled untenable, often life-threatening, political situations in their countries of origin.
Under fanatical or arbitrary rulers they were severely restricted and discriminated against, and at times of political instability suffered murder and pillaging at the hands of Muslim mobs.

Resources and articles on Israeli Arabs

The New Israelis: The Arabs of Israel (Part 2)
Once the Israeli Arabs had re-encountered their Palestinian brethren in the territories taken by Israel in the Six Day War, the former undertook a lengthy and complex process of redefining their national identity, simultaneous with the consolidation of an economic infrastructure.
The Adva Center (Adva means ripple) is an Israeli non-partisan, independent action-oriented policy analysis center, founded in 1991 by activists from three social movements: the movement for equal rights for <bb>>Arabb>bb>> citizens, the movement for equality for Mizrahi Jews, and the feminist movement.

The Head Heeb: Two ways to be an <bb>>Arabb>bb>> Jew

That's part of it, I think, but she may also be using "<bb>>Arabb>bb>> Jew" in the same sense as "African- American." One of Shohat's running themes is her perception that the Israeli state has constructed a concept of Jewish nationality in which Ashkenazic identity predominates and Mizrahi identity is subordinated.
When Shohat talks of "<bb>>Arabb>bb>> Jews" she is (quite consciously, I think) conflating these, thus implying that which all Jews have always known to be false -- the nationalist conceit that, unlike current settler countries, the "old countries" were ethnically homogeneous -- and thereby aligning herself with those of the fellow-citizens-of-the-Mosaic-faith persuasion.
Her use of "<bb>>Arabb>bb>> Jew" is in some respects an assertion of a distinct identity within the Jewish people - in other words, a fairly standard expression of Mizrahi identity politics (albeit possibly carving out an <bb>>Arabb>bb>> subset of Mizrahi identity).

Israeli literature in English

To be sure, this is a small segment of Israeli society: the Israeli intelligentsia, represented by Professor Yochanan Rivlin and his wife, Hagit, a district judge, who live in Haifa, as well as educated Arabs in Galilee villages whose existence is circumscribed by the rules of occupation.
The threat of violence, while acknowledged by everyone, is not in the forefront of the plot, which is more concerned with the complacency of intelligent Israeli Jews in the face of the plight of their <bb>>Arabb>bb>> neighbors.
I invite you to enjoy this part of Israeli culture and to take a look at this new list of translated books.

<bb>>Arabb>bb>> foreign ministers issued a rebuke to the Bush administration today, saying the 22-nation <bb>>Arabb>bb>> League stood behind the Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat as a freedom fighter whose struggle against Israeli occupation is "legitimate national resistance" and could not be equated with terrorism.

Culture Gets in the Way - Middle East Quarterly - September 1994

Israelis have long insisted on direct negotiations with the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> states.
Thus, when Israelis ask Asad to define peace and to make a pacific gesture, they in effect inquire about his ethical credentials, whether he shares their vision of a perfectible world.
The Arabic word dughri means honest, honorable, and true to the facts; in Hebrew dugri has come to mean honest in the sense of being true to oneself and represents an entire ethic of sincerity.

<bb>>Arabb>bb>>-Israeli Conflict Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography

Furthermore, Israel has charged that Palestinian refugees were neglected by most <bb>>Arabb>bb>> nations, whereas Jewish refugees were integrated into Israeli society, and that this neglect is the true cause of the poverty and misery experienced by the residents of those camps, not their flight or expulsion from Israel as the Palestinians believe.
Israel's existence as a Jewish state and the future of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights are at the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Israel continues to refuse to consider large-scale resettlement of Palestinian refugees and points to the continued refusal of the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> nations to compensate Israeli Jews of <bb>>Arabb>bb>> origin, many of whom were driven out of their home countries after facing the expropriation of their property.

Jerusalem Post Breaking News from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World

Combined with the fact that the number of Israeli Arabs involved in terrorism rose significantly during those same years it would be only natural to jump to the conclusion that the million-plus Israeli <bb>>Arabb>bb>> minority had been irrevocably radicalized by these events.
By It is common knowledge that the violent anti-Israel uprising by thousands of young Israeli <bb>>Arabb>bb>> men along roads and in towns throughout the north in October 2000 in conjunction with the outbreak of the intifada in the territories set back the process of <bb>>Arabb>bb>> integration into Israel by at least a generation.
There is no sense in having the Israeli establishment try to impose such an alternative leadership from the outside.

The Mizrahi in Israeli Literature and Cinema

Convenient ethnic caricatures in Israeli and foreign films projected onto the big screen many of the same colonial pretensions that have factored into the real-life political and cultural displacement of <bb>>Arabb>bb>>-Jews in Israel.
Forget Baghdad combines a critical discussion of the clichéd cinematic portrayal of “the Jew” and “the <bb>>Arabb>bb>>” over the last century with a biographical depiction of how these stereotypes affected the lives of four remarkable Iraqi-Jewish communists who immigrated to Israel in the early 1950s.
The highest-grossing Israeli film ever, Turn Left at the End of the World takes us back to 1969, where two immigrant families, one Moroccan, the other Indian, become unlikely neighbors in a tiny village in the middle of the Negev desert.

Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and his "Culture War" in Israel by Omar Kamil

Apparently, the goal of rabbi Yosef's culture war is to bring the Israeli public, both religious and secular, to recognize Sephardi culture as a new ideology and social order in Israel.
The third counterculture is that of the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> minority using the Arabic language.
It is common among Israelis to argue that the Sephardi identity Rabbi Yosef is attempting to forge is a separatist one.

Amazon.com: Keys to the Garden : New Israeli Writing: Books: Ammiel Alcalay

Mizrahis (Israelis whose families immigrated from the Levant, Turkey, Iran, India and the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> World), though a numerical majority, have continually been treated as a minority in Israeli society and their artistic and literary achievements have been overshadowed and marginalized by those in the mainstream.
The writers were born, or their families come from, Turkey, Iran, India, and the <bb>>Arabb>bb>> world.
Yet, within Israeli society itself, a sense of discord between mainstream Jews and mizrahis is also in evidence and this collection brings some of that to light.

Talk:Palestinian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Even after the <bb>>Arabb>bb>>-Israeli wars, when <bb>>Arabb>bb>> grovernements suddenly began speaking to westerners (in English and French) about "Palestinans", they sometimes admitted publicly to their own public (in Arabic) that Palestinians were a total fiction, created solely as a way to fight the existence of the Jewish state in Israel.
but even if it was, there is no reason to believe this interrupted their Arabization; many notable <bb>>Arabb>bb>> tribes, particularly in the northwest and the south, were Jewish at Muhammad's time, as Dhu Nuwas and Samaw'al ibn Adiya illustrate.
Also early forms of the word "Arabian" denoted people of the Syrian desert who are not identical to the later <bb>>Arabb>bb>> nation as we understand the word today which only emerged in Late Antiquity in the Arabian peninsula (a comparison usually given is that similarly the "Romanians" are not the same nation as the "Romans").

Between April 25-28, youngsters and their parents will be able to gain some insight into what makes Reshef's cartoonist persona tick, when he displays some of his prized comics books - taken from his 7,000-plus collection - at the Childhood and Family Collections Festival at the Israeli Children's Museum in Holon.
From his first and last names, both of which could pass for non-Israeli sounding, to his choice of material, to his anarchistic sense of humor (supported by his life-long friend, comedian-filmmaker Uri Zohar, who later became a distinctly unfunny Orthodox rabbi), Arik offered us a vital connection to Euromerican culture.
