Pendant des décennies, les "nouveaux Palestiniens" ont nourri la saga de la "naqba" ou la "catastrophe", qui est devenue le leitmotiv de rassemblement de cette nouvelle identité arabe (5). De son côté, Israël a choisi de minimiser les persécutions, les expulsions et les dépouillements d'avoirs des Juifs des pays arabes.

Between 1920 and 1970, 900,000 Jews were expelled from Arab and other Muslim countries. The 1940s were a turning point in this tragedy; of those expelled, 600,000 settled in the new state of Israel, and 300,000 in France and the United States.

A ce jour, ce qu'on appelle "le printemps arabe" a apporté à Israël la 1ère attaque terroriste à Jérusalem en 7 ans, et la 1ère attaque significative de missiles depuis la bande de Gaza en 2 ans. Et ces évènements sont la partie la plus facile dans ce qui attend le gouvernement de Benjamin Natanyahou. Le plus difficile sera de gérer Barack Obama.
