​ Abstract: Jews were perceived as outsiders in Western societies, a perception rooted in a significant evangelical narrative. This narrative found its way into political, cultural, and social literature, serving the interests of the white man and perpetuating stereotypes that reflected the religious and literary imagination of the Western identity. Consequently, these stereotypes influenced literary production, echoing societal biases that viewed Jewish groups as functional units, as observed by Al-Messiri. The construction of the Zionist Jewish identity occurred within an imperialist framework, shaped by Western Protestant ideologies. Its primary objective was to ease pressure within Western society while capitalizing on its position within the heart of the Arab nation, presenting itself as a problematic gift to its people. This political role not only bolstered cultural shifts but also aimed to diminish the perceived burden of the Jewish presence within Western society. Keywords: Jews; Zionism; functional groups; Protestantism; imperialism.
