“…Male domination is made possible by a set of laws applied mainly to women, shaping their behavior, activity, desires, and even thoughts (Hossain & Welchman, 2005). Patriarchal values and norms are deeply rooted in such societies that in many cases women also take part in the control and oppression of other women (Ne’eman-Haviv, 2021, p. 3). In addition, shame and gossip are mechanisms used by the community to ensure men preserve their dominance.…”

This article uses the narratives of survivors of honor killing to show that women's agency is the reason for life threats because it undermines masculine domination. The findings show that life threats are made against women engaging in behaviors not aligned to cultural norms as perceived by male members of their family, to escape shame and gossip, and it is a manifestation of men losing control over women. These survivors of honor-based violence have undermined masculine domination by acting in unanticipated ways and by fleeing to a shelter home in the face of overwhelming cultural sanctions and structural inequalities.

“…The sociological theoretical framework relating to social structures, cultural codes, and social supervision provides the main explanations for the motivation in honor killings. Honor killings differ from other types of killing because their motivation is based on cultural and moral codes common in certain communities, often reinforced by religion (Bangash & Muhammad, 2017;Bhanbhro et al, 2016;Bhatti et al, 2011;Cetin, 2015;Chesler, 2010Chesler, , 2015Gibbs et al, 2019;Ne'eman-Haviv, 2020a;Patel & Gadit, 2008;Pely, 2011;Shapiro, 2009;Warrick, 2005). Bangash and Muhammad (2017) defined honor killings as cultural violence, which means that any aspect of culture may be used to justify and legitimize structural violence, largely supported by ideology, religion, language, and the arts, and make it acceptable in society.…”

“…Preserving family honor implies maintaining male control, and harming it amounts to undermining this control. Male domination is made possible by a set of laws applied primarily to women, determining their behavior, activity, desires, and even thoughts (Ne'eman-Haviv, 2020a;Eshet & Sela, 2016;Nasrullah et al, 2009;Sedem & Ferrer-Wreder, 2015;Shapiro, 2009;. In the past, it concerned only the sexual behavior of women, but as a result of recent changes in Arab and Muslim societies, the concept has been expanded to include new forms of behavior that are perceived as a threat to male domination (Eshet & Sela, 2016).…”

“…The Arab population of Israel constitutes about 21% of the total population of the country (Central Bureau of Statistics, 2017). According to the Israeli Police, in 2013-2016, 113 women were murdered in Israel, of whom 60 (53%) were Arab, most of them killed in the name of honor (Ne'eman-Haviv, 2020a). Chesler (2010) analyzed 230 cases of honor killings reported in the English-language media worldwide, between 1989 and 2009.…”

Honor killings are an ancient phenomenon that has been widely discussed in the professional literature. This article reviews the current literature in the field, using a sociocultural theoretical framework, and critically examines the effect of modernization processes on the phenomenon, distinguishing between Arab and Muslim countries and Western countries. The review shows that despite modernization processes, and at times owing to concerns about these processes, the use of honor killings as a tool to strengthen patriarchal control seems to be widening. The impact of these trends on the definition of honor killings is discussed. An upto-date literature review is necessary to raise awareness of this phenomenon of violence and to establish effective prevention programs. Directions for future research are also discussed.

“…This difference between studies in the US and Israel is related to the cultural differences between the Jewish majority and Arab minority in Israel. Thus, the punitive gap can derive from the traditional patriarchal Arab culture, which is linked to the tendency to support harsher social control policies (see Haj-Yahia, 2000; Ne’Eman-Haviv, 2020, 2021). However, the finding that fear of terrorism is, in fact, slightly higher in Israel’s larger cities inhabited mainly by Jews (Hasisi et al, 2009; Shechory-Bitton & Cohen-Louck, 2018) might be related to more punitive attitudes regarding terrorist cases.…”

To explore the interrelationship between terrorist acts, terrorist ethnicity, and observer gender and cultural background in Israel, we recruited 211 participants aged 19–75 years. The majority were male (63%). As for the ethnic and religious cultural background, 40% were Jewish, 40% Druze, and 20% Muslim. The participants answered questions about their demographic characteristics, read three scenarios of terrorist acts, addressed attitudes toward terrorists, and suggested the length of imprisonment. We manipulated the type of act (shooting and killing/burning religious institutions/throwing stones at cars) and terrorist ethnicity (Arab/ Jewish). The results indicate significant main effects of the manipulated variables regarding attitudes toward terrorists. Also, Muslim Arab participants expressed more negative attitudes in cases of Jewish terrorists than Arab terrorists, whereas Jewish participants expressed more negative attitudes toward Arab terrorists than Jewish terrorists. Druze participants did not differentiate between Arab and Jewish terrorists. Furthermore, in cases of Arab perpetrators, Jewish participants suggested imprisonment terms 2.4 times longer than in cases of Jewish perpetrators. The discussion addresses the findings in the context of social identity theory and dual social identification. Regarding practical implications, the findings imply the need for education and training on ethnic bias among policymakers and practitioners.
