Examining the emergence of a new generation of Palestinians in Israel and their political, social and religious transformations and empowerment.
The Palestinian minority in Israel are currently experiencing a new trend in their political development which Ghanem and Mustafa have here called 'The Politics of Faith'. This book traces the emergence of a new generation of political leadership and studies the demographic, social and religious transformations in Palestinian society.While the international community and regional powers in the Middle East are focussing on finding a solution to Israel's 'external problem' - the future of the occupied West Bank and Gaza strip - another political conflict is emerging on the domestic Israel scene: the question of the future status of Israel's Palestinian minority within the 1967 borders. The Palestinian minority in Israel are currently experiencing a new trend in their political development. Here, Ghanem and Mustafa term that development 'The Politics of Faith', referring to the demographic, religious and social transformations among the Palestinian minority that have facilitated and strengthened their self-confidence. Such heightened self-confidence is also the basis for key changes in their cultural and social life, as well as political activity. This book traces the emergence of a new and diverse generation of political leadership, how Palestinian society has developed and empowered itself within Israel, and the politicization of Islamic activism in Israel.
