ABSTRACT

The article offers an overview of the history of Israel. In the 60 years since the establishment of the modern Israel, part and parcel of this new political development has been the integration of its own population. Twenty percent are Arab Muslims, who in microfocus are the antithesis of this state. At least as important is the mosaic of Jews who have gone and come back to Israel ethnically, and sometimes culturally, transformed. Israel, in 60 years, has become multiethnic and societally complex.
