Israeli Palestinian Territorial Perceptions

Department at Tel Aviv University Geography Department at the Teachers' College, Biet Bed, Israel

Israeli Palestinians perceive Israeli national space as a hierarchical system of territories, associated with the different elements of their collective identity. They partition space into meaningful territorial units on eight different hierarchical levels. The three most outstanding levels of the hierarchy are those associated with their national, their Israeli citizenship, and their subethnic identities. Analysis of their attachment to the different territorial units reveals that, although they have an undoubted sense of Palestinian identity, they do not deny their Israeli citizenship. In confronfing the disparity between these two identifies, they seek to overcome the difficulties of complete adaptation to either of them by their attempt to establish for themselves a status of limited freedom of choice and territorial autonomy.
