In March 2019, Mada published a new book titled “The Arab Druze in Israel – Critical Political Approaches and Perspective”. This book, edited by Dr. Yusri Khaizran, includes several academic articles written by Palestinian researchers on a range of political and social issues related to the Arab Druze in Israel. In the first chapter, the book presents theoretical approaches on the situation of the Arab Druze in Israel.

The second chapter deals with the issue of the so-called “blood alliance” and Israeli policies towards the Arab Druze community in Israel. While the third chapter deals with the question of identity and its challenges in the Arab Druze society in Israel.

The book is available in Arabic.

The subject of the current issue of Jadal is those Palestinian cities that were seized during the Nakba in 1948 and in which a Palestinian population remained; namely, Jaffa, Lydda, Ramle, Haifa, and Acre. These cities are given various designations, of which the term “mixed cities” is one of the most prevalent among their Palestinians residents today. The majority of the Jewish residents of these cities, however, regard them as Jewish cities.
