<p>Roughly 5,000 Palestinians living inside Israel currently volunteer to serve in the Israeli military. These soldiers' multiple and contradictory loyalties highlight the contingent nature of identity and the complex relationships subalterns have to institutions of rule. This paper calls for a move beyond viewing these volunteers simply as "traitors," or, less negatively, as "accommodationists." By understanding them as marginal agents at the edges of Palestinian society within Israel, their successes and failures at integration through the military richly illustrate the contradictory workings of citizenship in Israel and its limitations.</p>
