“…Regarding the comparison between burning of a religious site and stone-throwing, participants perceived the burning of religious institutions as more negative and suggested more extended imprisonment terms than in cases of stone-throwing. This indicates that participants consider acts that harm religious feelings as more serious (Shalhoub-Kevorkian & David, 2016) than throwing stones.…”

“…Israeli society has dealt with a variety of terrorist attacks, including acts by the primary terror groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad as well as by lone, unaffiliated attackers (S. Perry & Hasisi, 2015; S. Perry et al, 2018). Furthermore, Israel experiences terrorism from both Arab (Carmel et al, 2020) and Jewish attackers (Shalhoub-Kevorkian & David, 2016). In recent years, there have been terror attacks committed by Jewish citizens against Arabs, including violent attacks that caused injuries and property damage (see Shalhoub-Kevorkian & David, 2016).…”

To explore the interrelationship between terrorist acts, terrorist ethnicity, and observer gender and cultural background in Israel, we recruited 211 participants aged 19–75 years. The majority were male (63%). As for the ethnic and religious cultural background, 40% were Jewish, 40% Druze, and 20% Muslim. The participants answered questions about their demographic characteristics, read three scenarios of terrorist acts, addressed attitudes toward terrorists, and suggested the length of imprisonment. We manipulated the type of act (shooting and killing/burning religious institutions/throwing stones at cars) and terrorist ethnicity (Arab/ Jewish). The results indicate significant main effects of the manipulated variables regarding attitudes toward terrorists. Also, Muslim Arab participants expressed more negative attitudes in cases of Jewish terrorists than Arab terrorists, whereas Jewish participants expressed more negative attitudes toward Arab terrorists than Jewish terrorists. Druze participants did not differentiate between Arab and Jewish terrorists. Furthermore, in cases of Arab perpetrators, Jewish participants suggested imprisonment terms 2.4 times longer than in cases of Jewish perpetrators. The discussion addresses the findings in the context of social identity theory and dual social identification. Regarding practical implications, the findings imply the need for education and training on ethnic bias among policymakers and practitioners.

“…It has repeatedly been suggested that JV has increased partly due to a biased, inadequate response from the state where JV is under-policed (Eiran and Krause 2018; Shalhoub-Kevorkian and David 2016). This claim mirrors those made of biased responses toward other types of crime, and hate crime in particular, based on factors such as race or religion.…”

Returning to the Wild West: Jewish Violence, Social Reaction, Self-Help and Social Control

In recent years, the issue of Jewish settler violence in Israel and its territories has garnered increasing attention. The claimed motivations for such violence are that it is a response to Palestinian-Arab violence and perceived government inaction, as well as perceived selectivity in the formal response toward violence perpetrated by these two populations. These claims point to Jewish settler violence as being a crime as a form of social reaction, self-help and social control. We test this hypothesis by combining and analysing data from the Israel Security Agency, the Palestinian Authority, the United Nations and open sources for the period of 2009–2022 (n = 168 months) using a series of generalized negative-binomial models and Newey–West ordinary least squares models. We find that Jewish settler violence increases as serious Arab violence increases and decreases when formal responses toward Arab violence are higher. We also find iatrogenic effects for harsh measures targeting Jewish violence, namely administrative detention orders. The results imply that to reduce collective violence, it is necessary to take a more consistent and balanced approach in formal responses against opposing groups.

“…The mass slaughter and sustained frontier violence that led to extreme depopulation in these latter states is unavailable in this globally monitored period by countries that claim to be democratic and adhere to the rule of law, one in which Israel's self-proclaimed status as 'the only democracy in the Middle East' with the 'most moral army' in the world 33 is already deeply contested and only asserted with extensive propaganda and shielding from powerful third states. Today, the ongoing Nakba in Jerusalem takes on various forms of elimination, including entrapment, enclosure, control of movement, smaller scale but persistent killings, state collaboration and outsourcing with settler mob violence 34 and the extensive use of an intelligence regime 35 on a native population that is kept in shrinking spaces to be surveilled and controlled. 36 In Jerusalem, statelessness is deployed to keep the Palestinians of the city eternally entrapped, a term we use quite literally: they cannot leave without risking permanent exile, they cannot join the settler collective via the regime of Israeli citizenship that is itself a form of domination 37 nor have they been allowed to achieve sovereignty as part of the collective right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.…”

Beyond Statelessness: 'Unchilding' and the Health of Palestinian Children in Jerusalem

Understanding the key determinants of health of Palestinian children in occupied East Jerusalem is enhanced by analyzing Jerusalem as a settler colonial frontier. Structural racism, prolonged occupation, and settler colonialism shape the social and political determinants of health in Jerusalem, generating ill health and insecurity for Palestinian children who are rendered stateless in their own city. They are “unchilded” and, in fact, treated like enemies of the settler state. Colonial violence penetrates their family stability, homes, classrooms, and targets their bodies and health. In providing a thorough analysis of the lived experience of indigenous Palestinian children in Jerusalem, a broadened understanding of the effects of statelessness on their health can begin to take shape.
