Although Christians form a significant proportion of the
Palestinian Arab minority in Israel, very little research has,
until now, been undertaken to examine their complicated position
within Israel. This book demonstrates the limits of analyses which
characterise state-minority relations in Israel in terms of a
so-called Jewish-Muslim conflict, and of studies which portray
Palestinian Christians as part of a wider exclusively
religious-based transnational Christian community.
This book locates its analysis of Palestinian Christians within
a broader understanding of Israel as a Jewish ethnocratic state. It
describes the main characteristics of the Palestinian Christian
community in Israel and examines a number of problematic
assumptions which have been made about them and their relationship
to the state. Finally, it examines a number of intra-communal
conflicts which have taken place in recent years between Christians
and Muslims, and between Christians and Druze, and probes the role
which the state and various state attitudes have played in
influencing or determining those conflicts and, as a result, the
general status of Palestinian Christians in Israel today.
