Palestinians in Israel: Between Managed Chaos and the Threat of Existence

Palestinians in Israel live a reality that feels like a crime series, but it’s neither fiction nor television drama. More than a thousand victims in just five years, with 82% of the community saying they feel unsafe in their own homeland. What’s happening goes far beyond criminal violence; it is an existential crisis reshaping an entire society under a state that organizes life for Jews while leaving Palestinians in a state of “managed chaos.”

In this episode of Scene48 Unplugged, lawyer Rawyah Handaqlu speaks with journalist and criminology expert Deiaa Haj yahia to unpack the roots of violence, understand its consequences, and hold those in power accountable.

Can the Palestinian community inside Israel find its path to safety?
