This chapter takes a critical look at the characterization of the Palestinian-Arab religious jurisdiction as a liberal multicultural accommodation and re-characterizes it as a “multicultural entrapment.” The jurisdictional authority accorded to the Palestinian-Arab religious communities does not meet what can be defined as “multicultural qualifications” exposing them as mere mechanisms of control and oppression. However, both the Israeli establishment and the Palestinian-Arab political establishment are interested in presenting religious jurisdiction among the Palestinian-Arab as multicultural. The characterization covers for Israel’s “embarrassing” interest to maintain the religious divides among its citizens in order to maintain its Jewish character. The characterization also helps the Palestinian-Arab politicians to maintain their refined liberal agenda while not upsetting the conservative religious establishment that exists within. Given the adverse implications religious jurisdiction has in terms of personal liberty and its pseudo-liberal multicultural character, the acute individual predicament of the Palestinian-Arabs thus emerges as a multicultural entrapment.
