“…Previous studies have examined Palestinians' readiness for personal or social engagement in intergroup contact with Israelis. Most of these studies, however, focused on the Israeli society, examining the relationship between the disadvantaged indigenous Palestinian minority and the dominant Jewish majority (Diab & Mi'Ari, 2007;Hofman, 1972Hofman, , 1982Peres, 1971;Sagiv & Schwartz, 1995;Shani & Boehnke, 2017;Smooha, 1984;Yogev, Ben-Yehoshua, & Alper, 1991;Yuchtman-Yaar & Inbar, 1986). These studies have typically shown that members of the indigenous Palestinians in Israel are more willing to establish relations with the Israeli Jewish than vice versa.…”

Since the launching of the Oslo peace process in 1993, the term ‘normalization’ has been used to characterize policies that aim to recognize the state of Israel and to establish ‘normal’ relations between Israelis and Palestinians. Whereas the Palestinian Authority has been supportive of normalization policies, numerous domestic and international critics have argued that these policies serve to perpetuate occupation and its consequences. We examine how Palestinians understand normalization, to what degree they support various forms of ‘normalizing’ relations with Israelis, and how contact with Israelis relates to support for normalization and motivation for revolutionary resistance against the occupation. Based on a cross-sectional survey conducted among an adult sample (N = 159) in the West Bank in 2016, we show that the understanding of normalization was multi-faceted, and that support for contact and collaboration across group lines (i.e., with Israelis) depended on the type of intergroup relations. On average, respondents were more supportive of relations within the political sphere, e.g. civilian policies and diplomatic coordination, than of interpersonal contact, cultural cooperation or security coordination. Support for most types of intergroup relations was related to decreased motivation for revolutionary resistance. In line with research on ‘sedative’ effects of positive intergroup contact in historically unequal societies, we found that past positive contact with Israelis was linked to decrease in Palestinians’ motivation for revolutionary resistance through increased support for interpersonal contact and security coordination as forms of normalization.

“…Arab citizens of Israel see their identity as comprised primarily of a mix of these four elements, as a delicate balance among them, or as one identity displacing another (Smooha, 2002). This ongoing identity crisis alters with changing circumstances (Diab & Mi'ari, 2007), evoking multi-layered discourse relating to issues such as ethnic democracy (Smooha, 2002), "multiculturalism" (Yona & Shenhav, 2005), "Palestinian indigenousness," and Israel as an "ethnocracy" (Yiftachel & Ghanem, 2004). Many Arab citizens of Israel share the belief that the development of Palestinian society in Israel is not a natural development, but rather the reaction to a continuous state of crisis (Ghanem & Rouhana, 2001).…”

“…Sociologically, this minority is considered as a national minority. Most Palestinians from Israel identify as Palestinians and part of the Arab nation although they are citizens of Israel that is officially defined as a Jewish state and that is in conflict with members of its own people, the Palestinian people in neighbouring states and with the Arab nations (Diab and Mi’ari, 2007; Ghanem and Mustafa, 2009a, b; Ghanem and Rouhana, 2001; Nakhleh, 1979;). From 1948 until 1967, they were culturally and geographically separated from their Arab and Palestinian relatives living in what became known as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (Ghanem and Mustafa, 2009a, b).…”

“…This ongoing dilemma concerning the collective and individual identity of Palestinians in Israel is also influenced by changes in circumstances in neighbouring countries, especially political situations (Diab and Mi’ari, 2007). Despite being the state’s largest minority, the Palestinians in Israel endure discriminatory government policies, resulting in deprivation in almost all domains (Arar and Haj-Yehia, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the factors that attract (pull) or discourage (push) Palestinian students from Israel (PSI) to study at a Palestinian university, the Arab American University in Jenin (AAUJ), for the first time since the establishment of Israel in 1948. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research method using in-depth interviews with 15 PSI who study at AAUJ attempts to define the motivations behind PSI preferring AAUJ, on one hand, and constraints, on the other hand. Findings The findings of the study show factors that attract PSI to study at the AAUJ and what subjects they choose to study there, the encounter with a similar culture and nationalism in a Palestinian campus in the occupied West Bank; the most significant difficulties and impediments they face there, whether economic or political, are discussed. This paper contributes to an understanding of the new national re-encounter between two Palestinian groups in a university campus, one under Israel’s occupation and the other that has Israeli citizenship. Originality/value It is a unique phenomenon in the trends of international students’ mobility in the world.
