AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article, Haidar examines how different epochs of political conflict in Israel had different impact how Palestinians perceived themselves and others. The three epochs are the initial post-Independence period (1948-1967), the period of war, including the Arab-Israeli War and Civil War in Lebanon (1967-1988), and the Intifada (1988-1995). In the first period, Palestinians identified with the pan-Arabic movement. In the second period, Palestinians favored a Palestinian nationalism, which brought together Palestinians on both sides of the Green Line. During the Intifada, Palestinians in Israel again became more marginalized and the heroic dimensions of the Palestinian fighter emphasized. Haidar argues that mutual and self-perceptions among Israeli, Palestinians and Arabs are complex and include both negative and positive images, especially after the 1967 war. He also notes that in spite of an apparent cultural assimilation of Palestinians living in Israel and no matter how Arabs and Jews interact individually, the group attitudes and hatreds prevail.
