The Islamic Movement in Israel (also known as the Islamic Movement in 48 Palestine) is an Islamist movement that aims to advocate Islam in Israel, particularly among Arabs and Circassians. It operates on three levels: religious (Islamic education, religious service), social (welfare services) and political (opposition to Israel and support for Palestinian nationalism). The movement is split into two branches: the hardline northern branch, which has campaigned against any Palestinian concessions to Israel, and according to some organized harassment of Jews on the Temple Mount, and favors extended use of Sharia in Israel, and the more moderate southern branch.
