Abstract

A novel form of political action is being carried out within the Palestinian-Arab society in Israel by young activists. This paper delineates the new development, which we argue have come out of the solidification of a new generational unit, acting in its unique political style. The novelty is reflected mainly in its direct mode of political action, in the scope of its actions and mode of organization, which is distancing itself from mainstream political party activity. We suggest that this generation's style was shaped by their conception of the context being colonial, by their social positioning, as well as by the neoliberal era of individualism.
