Abstract

The author describes Israel's social structure and discusses some of its problems. Israeli society is based on a pioneering ideology, which is a source of strength and also of conflict as the nation evolves into a consumer culture. Waves of heterogeneous immigrants necessitate further social adjustment. She describes the Israelis' relationship to their own and to other nations and reviews some factors in the Mid-East conflict. The psychosocial barriers between the Israelis and the Arabs are constantly strengthened by external and internal political interests.
