The authors focus on the development, since the second Palestinian intifada, of a new consensus in Israeli Jewish society with regard to the Arab minority, which the authors call “the New Zionist Hegemony.” After describing the attitudes and beliefs undergirding the new consensus, the authors focus on four areas in which it is manifested: legislation, government policies, public opinion, and public discourse. The authors contend that the new consensus changes the meaning of citizenship for non-Jews in an ethnic Jewish state.
