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.
