“…Nonetheless, Palestinians are still excluded by social and symbolic boundaries in market and political participation, sometimes at the cost of lowering support for the Palestinian national project (Abu Asbah et al., 2014; Abu-Saad, 2006; Ganem and Levin-Rozalis, 2014; Halabi, 2017; Harbon et al., 2013; Jabareen, 2006; Levi, 2005; Mizrachi and Herzog, 2012). Mundane encounters between Palestinians and Jews are mostly limited to mixed cities, where both ethnicities live, or to universities.…”

“…In these settings, the main challenge for Palestinians is to maintain their dignity while enlarging the scope of their participation in the public sphere. As members of a stigmatized national minority, their sense of collective identity is distinguished from the Jewish collective (Halabi, 2017; Harbon et al., 2013; Mizrachi and Herzog, 2012: 423–424).…”

Ethnic and professional identities are generally viewed as incongruent. While ethnic cooking is seen as a reproduction of unaltered native dishes, professional cooking raises anticipation of invented culinary novelties. This study asks why Palestinian chefs fail to reconfigure ethnicity as an invaluable asset that enables their restaurant to partake in the realm of haute dining in Israel. The reconfiguration of Palestinian culinary knowledge as sophisticated and up-to-date, I argue, challenges their clients' expectations that Palestinian chefs will prioritize the ethnic component of their identity over the professional one. This vision of Palestinian restaurants prevents the chefs from mobilizing the growing curiosity for ethnic cuisines, as well as the nostalgia for dishes that have disappeared from domestic kitchens, keeping them from penetrating the realm of haute cuisine en route to upward mobility and professional autonomy.

“…Studies consistently identify religiosity, both in beliefs and practice, as a protective factor [ 40 , 41 ]. Hence, prayer and religiosity become essential for coping with mental distress [ 42 ]. However, religiosity may be a barrier to seeking professional mental help; more religious clients expressed greater distrust towards healthcare systems and were more concerned about the social stigma associated with seeking treatment [ 43 , 44 ].…”

“…Several studies in Western countries have identified discrimination patterns based on ethnicity and religion regarding mental-health issues among Arabs living in the U.K. [ 27 ] and the USA [ 42 , 43 , 44 ]. These studies also revealed that Arabs prefer seeking faith healers or turning to God as the first approach to treating mental illness.…”

This study examined the association between the degree of religiosity, combined with cultural beliefs, social stigmas, and attitudes towards mental-health treatment in two groups, who, despite having similar cultural and religious affiliation, have experienced different socio-political contexts: Palestinian Muslim college students living in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and Israel. The study was guided by Tanhan and Young’s (2021) conceptual framework. Methods: A snowball recruitment strategy was applied, using a cross-sectional survey. A total sample size was 214 students, 105 from the OPT and 109 from Israel. Results indicate that students from the OPT (n = 105) did not differ from those living in Israel (n = 109) on religiosity using the Islamic Belief scale, or Attitudes Towards Mental Health treatment (F(1, 189) = 1.07, p = 0.30). However, students from the OPT had higher confidence in mental-health professionals (M = 15.33) than their counterparts (M = 14.59), and women had higher confidence (M = 16.03) than men (M = 13.90). The reliance on traditions for Muslim students over Western mental-health approaches is a critical factor in predicting the attitudes towards students’ mental problems and their chosen treatment. Sociopolitical context played a significant role in shaping attitudes toward mental-health providers.
