Renegotiating Israeli Identities, Collective Victimhood and Social Exclusion of Arab Israelis in a Changing Social Reality

Abstract: This article discusses the changing nature of the Israeli identity and core values against the backdrop of political and social processes that took place in Israel in recent decades. Special attention was given to manifestations of collective victimhood within the framework of the Israeli society and politics and the way the latter obstructed social inclusion of Arab Israelis and of acknowledging commonalities between Jewish and non-Jewish Israelis.

“…Critically, collective memories need not be formed directly; they are transmitted across generations via cultural artifacts (e.g., movies, books, stories), and the memories formed in the past continue to affect group members in the present (Assman, 2008;Bar-Tal et al, 2009;Hirst et al, 2018).

Even young children view those who are connected to the same past experiences as members of the same social group (Vélez et al, 2019).…”
