Policies and attitudes toward Palestinians address demographic issues that dictate the political environment in the state of Israel. The identity and boundaries of the Jewish state are incredibly complex to define. Some Israeli officials pulled Israeli settlers out of the Gaza Strip and built a barricade in the West Bank; while also supporting controversial legislation that would prevent any Palestinian who marries an Israeli from becoming an Israeli citizen. Aimed at preserving the primary population of Jews in the state, these decisions are a pillar in maintaining Israel's national survival. Forcing Israelis to face a concrete and sensitive question about their national identity has not overcome religious and cultural differences and produced a multicultural identity. The idealistic perception of a homogeneous identity for the Land of Israel is unrealistic as it has been challenged by the lack of resources as well as the trials and tribulations along ethnic, religious and political lines to formulate a unified identity that once it was planned for the Jewish nation. On May 14, 1948, the state of Israel was resurrected along with the vision of a peaceful nation that upheld democratic values ​​in line with Jewish principles. The ensuing war forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee the area. The Palestinians who chose to stay became a minority group in the territory. The war had a significant impact on the relationship between Jews and Arabs within Israel. Israel has actively encouraged and pursued the emigration of Jews to its nation, while preventing the return of Palestinian refugees. Known as the “Arabs of 1948” – Palestinian Arabs did not become Israeli citizens of their own free will… middle of paper… This could be achieved through the adoption of a constitution, which has been amended intermittently . underlined by Israelis faced with a belated government. Since the founding of Israel, the dilemma of maintaining a Jewish state while respecting the civil liberties of the non-Jewish population has been an arduous journey. Partition by the Palestinians will only highlight the problem of the Arab-Israeli community, forcing Israel's Jewish and Arab populations to confront their long-standing relations. The Arab community and the issue of their influence on demographics, as well as their dual Israeli identity, have increased tensions in Israel's legal and political structures. All these factors have produced a divided multicultural society rather than a homogeneous identity that would overcome the ethnic, religious and political tensions imagined by David Ben Gurion.
