The Islamic Movement in Israel
2022
Overview
Since its establishment in the late 1970s, Israel's Islamic
Movement has grown from a small religious revivalist organization
focused on strengthening the faith of Muslim Palestinian citizens
of Israel to a countrywide sociopolitical movement with
representation in the Israeli legislature. But how did it get here?
How does it differ from other Islamic movements in the region? And
why does its membership continue to grow?
Tilde Rosmer examines these issues in The Islamic Movement
in Israel as she tells the story of the movement, its
identity, and its activities. Using interviews with movement
leaders and activists, their documents, and media reports from
Israel and beyond, she traces the movement's history from its early
days to its 1996 split over the issue of its relationship to the
state. She then explores how the two factions have functioned
since, revealing that while leaders of the two branches have
pursued different approaches to the state, until the outlawing of
the Northern Branch in 2015, both remained connected and dedicated
to providing needed social, education, and health services in
Israel's Palestinian towns and villages. The first book in English
on this group, The Islamic Movement in Israel is a timely
study about how an Islamist movement operates within the unique
circumstances of the Jewish state.
