The Israel-Palestine conflict has lasted for 60 years. Within these years, there are five main wars between the Jews and Arabs, and two Palestinian intifada. The Oslo Accord in 1993 once built up the hope of peace, but ended in failure. Palestinians still live under Israeli occupation, stay abroad as refugees, or live in Israel as second-class citizens. ¡@¡@For Edward Said, the question of Palestine is definitely not a conflict between civilizations, it is one between the colonists and the colonized. Said puts great emphasis on the causality of the building of Israel and the Palestinian dispossession; also, he thinks that the identity is not discovered but established. He tried to break the myth of dualism in the Israel-Palestine conflict situation, opposed the kind of ideology of difference which leads to domination, and find the real problem of this long-lasting conflict.

This research explores the ethnic, social, and cultural boundaries in Judaea and the nearby non-Judaean settlements in Palestine from 40 BCE till 70 CE, showing that the boundaries there were no less complex than those in the Diaspora outside the region. A large number of scholarly works have investigated the boundaries and identities of the Diaspora Judaeans outside Palestine, paying attention to their assimilation into — and resistance against — the non-Judaean cultures and social environments. Focusing on the following groups, I argue that Diaspora Judaeans and proselytes still encountered different sorts of boundaries even if they were in or near the predominantly Judaean region: a. local Diaspora Judaeans residing in the Hellenistic cities on the coast and in the Decapolis b. Judaean pilgrims coming from the Diaspora to Judaea c. Judaean immigrants settling in Judaea from the Diaspora d. proselytes making pilgrimages to or settling in Judaea from the Diaspora Certain experiences and identities of the Diaspora Judaeans and proselytes coming from diverse geographical origins in the Mediterranean and Near East were very different from those of the Judaeans in Judaea. These Diaspora Judaeans might have been considered socially and culturally foreign to the local Judaeans when they visited or lived in Judaea. At the same time, some of them were accepted into the local Judaean circle in various levels because of their common identities, lineages, and traditions. The ethnic, social, and cultural boundaries in Palestine were complicated, as they were not only negotiated among different ethnic groups, but also among those belonging to the same ethnic group and sharing certain traditions. The presence of Diaspora Judaeans and proselytes led to certain boundaries that were unique to this region.
