Mizraki Jews and the Zionist Project
This chapter explores the role of Mizraki Jews in relation to Zionism, discussing their initial absence from the discussion led by Ashkenazi Jews and the colonialist attitudes towards Arab Jews. It highlights the delicate balance of coexistence between the Arab and Jewish populations in Palestine, the resistance to de-Arabization, and the efforts to convince Arab Jews to move to Palestine. The chapter also discusses the Mizrahi disaffection, rebellion, and political empowerment over the years.
