Jewish-Israeli and Arab-Palestinian Relations in The Perspective of Cultural Conflict

This study examines the relation between the Jewish-Israeli nation and the Arab-Palestinian nation through an analysis of cultural conflict. Furthermore, the elements of Jewish-Israeli cultural identity and Arab-Palestinian cultural identity warrant discussion, as the two identities, despite their proximity, are historically and genealogically in perpetual struggle. Jewish-Israeli culture is fundamentally constructed and evolved through Arab-Palestinian culture. This perspective is very painful due to the ongoing marginalization and eradication of Arab-Palestinian culture facilitated by Jewish-Israeli cultural initiatives. This figurative perspective is seen in the disregard for Arab-Palestinians among Jewish-Israelis. Furthermore, initiatives aim to internalize and value Arab-Palestinian culture within the context of Jewish-Israeli culture in the socio-cultural landscape. This examination of the relationship between Jewish-Israeli and Arab-Palestinian culture is exemplified by the process of mimicry, when the colonized nation adopts, internalizes, and adapts the traits of the colonizers. This situation necessitates consideration of how the relationship between Jews and Israelis as colonists seeks to adopt, assimilate, and adapt the attributes of the Arab-Palestinian people they colonize
