| Summary: | This article proposes an analysis of the forms and modes of action among Palestinian Christians in Israel. Faced with strong feelings of vulnerability and confronting rising sectarianism and political Islam, Christian Palestinians are at the heart of Israeli fragmentation strategies. In this context, an important part of Christian elites think and present themselves as a minority within the minority. This article argues that there is no significant political impact of the Christian identity discourse, except for the marginal Aramaic movement. The collective mobilization of Arabic-speaking elites for a Palestinian national union, has consecrated a partial triumph of “palestineity” confronting state policies for minorities. A new generation of Palestinian activists now struggles through new forms of militancy for recognition of “1948 Palestinians” as a national minority and as an indigenous people in an effort to transform the Jewish ethnocratic state into a “state for all citizens”. |
