ABSTRACT

Abigail Fraser and Avi Shabat MK Professor Azmi Bisharah describes himself as a liberal and a humanist but as a neo-Nasserite nationalist as well. Bisharah’s views on the solution to the Palestinian issue and the status of Israel’s Arab minority will be reviewed while attempting to address any tension that might exist between these opposed ideologies. Changes in Bisharah’s thoughts during the years will also be noted in an attempt to discover whether these changes stem from an inner change in Bisharah’s thought or from the significant developments that have occurred in the political map of the region.
