This article argues that media globalization has a major impact on modes of social and political resistance of minorities against cultural and political control of nationalizing states. To demonstrate this thesis, the article addresses the communicative action and media culture of the Arab Palestinian national minority in Israel. The examination of Arab communicative action and media consumption culture in Israel will provides evidence that challenges previous theoretical conceptualizations of the Arab minority in Israel, as a ‘trapped minority’ or a minority that suffers from ‘double marginality’. It is claimed thatArab patterns of communicative behavior may lead to ‘double consciousness,’ i.e. the development of linguistic and cultural competence that enables the average person to understand and feel part of two different and sometimes even conflicting societal cultures. The article draws on a public opinion poll conducted among a random sample of the adult Arab population in Israel in December 2004 and January 2005.
