Transforming a Dream into Reality: Palestinian and Israeli Youth Struggling Across the Divide for Universal Human Rights, Democracy, and Peace

Kaufman and Freitekh offer insights about Palestinian and Israeli youth struggling across the divide for universal human rights, democracy, and peace. As of March 23,2021, the outcome of the Israeli elections had created no more than a fair chance of replacing Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and the deadline for setting up a government with at least a minimal majority of 61 members of Knesset is early June. Much has been written by sociologists and political scientists about waves of massive youth rebellion, and specific generations - particularly the younger ones - are given names of events, places, and alphabet letters. In the global arena, many beginnings of dramatic changes in society have been triggered by rather spontaneous reactions to events that often produce an escalation leading to violence, imprisonment, and massacres.
