Moshe Behar

Moshe Behar is a Senior Lecturer in Israeli Studies at the University of Manchester's Department of Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies. His research examines the Palestine/Israel conflict, Israeli society, Mizrahi Jewish communities, and the co-evolution of Jewish and Arab nationalisms. Behar employs comparative frameworks to analyze nationalist movements in the Middle East.

Recent publications critically examine definitions of antisemitism and the historical construction of Arab-Jewish identities. His work engages with contemporary debates about racialization and minority rights, particularly regarding non-White Jewish communities in Israel.
