“…In 1988, there were 116 Arab social workers, still far less than the 564 there should have been according to the Ministry of Welfare’s guidelines (Abu Baker, 2001). 4 Consequently, for example, only two part-time social workers served the 45,000 Bedouin in the south of the country (FCWAP, 1991), and in the mixed ethnic towns of Lod and Ma’a lot Tarshiha, there were no Arab social workers (Haidar, 1991).…”

Social work in Israel’s indigenous Arab society developed late relative to its Jewish counterpart. Based on primary and secondary sources and semi-structured interviews with Arab social workers who were employed in social welfare bureaus during the years under review, the article describes and explains the development of social work in Israel’s Arab society in its formative years. The findings indicate this social work developed under government policies that recognized the needs of Arab society but allocated its welfare bureaus fewer resources than to the country’s Jewish society. These policies also failed to recognize the Arab narrative in welfare delivery and to incorporate Arab representation in decision-making. The relevant bodies in Israel that dealt with social work, primarily the Ministry of Welfare, used various strategies to maintain a dual system of welfare services – one for Jewish citizens and a poorer one for Arabs citizens.

“…According to the American paradigm, crises led to deprivation (Yiftachel, 1997 and1992;Zureik, 1993;Haidar, 1991). Deprivation was present prior to and at the time when both the PIJ and Hamas mobilized (Yiftachel, 1997;Khawaja, 1994).…”

“…Deprivation was present prior to and at the time when both the PIJ and Hamas mobilized (Yiftachel, 1997;Khawaja, 1994). Deprivation was due to the Palestinian perception that occupation, and the Israeli military governance of the territories, hindered economic development and caused an uneven distribution of resources (Yiftachel, 1997 and1992;Zureik, 1993;Haidar, 1991). Perceived deprivation was more important because (Yiftachel, 1997: 97-98).…”

Recent world events, ranging from international violence to elections, have propelled academics and policymakers to examine Islamic resistance movements more closely. Previous studies of such movements, in both the English and Arabic literature, has been limited to historical case studies. The lack of systematic cross-case comparisons has limited the development of generalizable propositions regarding movement mobilization. In a first effort to remedy this gap in the literature, this study examines the mobilization of Islamic resistance movements-the FIS, the PIJ, Hamas, the MNLF, the MILF and the ASG-in three different countries located in three different regions. Mobilization was examined utilizing the American and European paradigms within the social movement literature. The American paradigm emphasized the role of activists for mobilization, whereas the European paradigm emphasized identity. The central goal of the study is to answer the following: Do Islamic resistance movements share common mobilization characteristics? I am grateful to many who provided assistance and support during the arduous writing process. Special thanks go first and foremost to my dissertation committee members, Drs.
