The author describes the internationalization of the relations between the Israeli government and the Israeli Arab minority, and the increasing transfer of this issue from the domestic Israeli arena to the domain of international organizations where Israel is subject to criticism regarding its relationship with its Arab minority. The author claims that this trend is facilitated by the increasing vocalism of Israeli Arabs in their aspirations to cultivate a separate identity from the Jewish state. This demand is inextricably linked not simply to the aspirations of the Palestinians but also to Islamism, which is on the ascent in the region.
