Critical Issues in Israeli Society

The book explores the complexities of establishing a cohesive political structure in Israel amidst diverse societal groups, including Jews, Arabs, and varying degrees of religious observance. It highlights how demographic shifts and challenges to legitimacy have exacerbated existing divisions, undermining pluralism. The absence of a unifying civic identity to replace Zionism complicates efforts for unity. Additionally, the failure of the peace process and global influences further impact both the Arab-Israeli conflict and domestic societal dynamics.
