Thinking across Borders and Boundaries- Separation and Interaction between Palestinian and Isrealis

Abstract

Increasing immigration flows, neo-liberal policies and new global threats, such as terrorism, result in a collective feeling of ontological insecurity. A physical and psychological insecurity can strengthen the desire to belong to a specific social category or group. This insecurity can lead to a conflict where one must protect their existence or status against a perceived threat. There is a natural exigency of the Other to reflect/mirror ourselves. In which groups use narratives to build a physical and/or nonphysical line, which go into constructing a collective identity. The framework of borders and boundaries shows the complexity of human organization in a conflict area
