Although the first Intifada had an immediate effect on the Arab citizens of Israel, only when the Arabs of Israel took up such violent protest did the Hebrew press begin covering the link between this sector of the population and the Intifada. The author highlights the ‘conscripted’ aspect of the Hebrew press during the Intifada manifested in the editorial responses to the demands of the security establishment, particularly at moments when control over the Israeli Arabs appeared to be in danger. The author presents the press to be complicit in efforts to quell disturbances through warnings to the Arab population of Israel to restrict themselves to legal forms of protest.
