Summary
The Arab political scientist cited by Will Kymlicka in Stateless Citizenship (2013) for the argument that the Israeli national project should be considered and included as a European settler-colonial state — on which inclusion the Palestinians inside and outside Israel’s imagined borders would meet the traditional definition of an indigenous people (Stateless Citizenship (2013), PDF p.60).

In Stateless Citizenship (2013) Chapter 5, Jamal’s account is given at length: Israel as a “nationalizing state” renders indigenous minorities’ citizenship a Hollow Citizenship “devoid of substantive cultural, economic and political meaning” (Jamal 2007, 473, as quoted), because “mere Palestinian-Arab existence” challenges the state’s vision; the frameworks of exclusion “feed off and promote one another” (Jamal 2007, 489, as quoted) (PDF p.191-192). Jamal’s Arab Minority Nationalism in Israel: The Politics of Indigeneity (2011) is also noted among the three major 2011 publications on Palestinian citizens (PDF p.184, footnote 20).
