The Arab Citizens of Israel: Israelis or Palestinians?

Thursday, September 23, 2021 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

In the Middle East, minority groups find themselves in difficult situations.  Israeli Arabs grapple with conflicting identity issues as well as often feeling that they are second class citizens.  At the same time, they have experienced significant upward mobility in the last decades, particularly in the case of women

Paul Liptz, a social historian and CSP’s recent 19th Annual One Month Scholar in Residence, was on the Tel Aviv University faculty for 40 years, teaching graduate and undergraduate students in the Department of Middle East and African History and the International School, where he dealt with a wide range of topics. His main interests are History of the Yishuv [Pre-State], the Modern State of Israel and Arab Women and Nationalism in the Middle East. Paul was born in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and came as a volunteer to Israel one day before the Six Day War on June 4, 1967. He decided to stay in Israel, married Brenda and they have 4 children and 12 grandchildren.
