Abstract

The establishment of monuments for commemorating the victims of violent confrontations constitutes a major element in the construction of modern national consciousness. The Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, approximately 19% of all Israeli citizens, have experienced in the last five years an accelerated process of 'monumentalization' of their identity as a national minority - many monuments that commemorate their victims in the Zionist-Palestinian conflict have been established in Arab villages and towns inside Israel.
