Most approaches to the study of Israeli society focus singly on gender,
ethnicity, or class with a focus only on external relationships with Arab
neighbors instead of on internal processes within Israel that operate on
multiple levels. This paper challenges a lack of intersectional approaches
to the study of Israeli society and the U.S. domination of the
intersectionality literature. I demonstrate the ways in which institutions
such as military, family, and education in Israel are gendered, classed,
and racialized, and then make recommendations for overcoming limitations to
an intersectional analysis.
