There exist yet more questions to be answered through a deeper understanding of Palestinian and Israeli writers’ expressions of intercultural intimacy as points of resistance to state sanctions in the Middle East—sanctions that restrict mixed unions and marriages, reify national myths of ethnic purity, justify Occupation, and render transgressive the bodies of Arab-Jewish partners.
