Abstract

The chapter provides a critical assessment of Jewish-Israeli civil society groups for Palestinian rights as of today and is based on extensive fieldwork in Israel-Palestine over the years 2018-2019. After having reviewed the groups’ main features as compared to the past, the chapter asks what their action can tell us about the possibility of building solidarity and critique from within the institutional and discursive boundaries of the system they set out to redress. The chapter unravels the paradoxes and contradictions of Jewish-Israeli activism in its relationships to Palestinians, and eventually finds in the grey zone of impure political struggles some bases for a constructive rethinking of counter-hegemonic solidarity praxis in asymmetrical conditions.
