The ceremony of granting an identity card to tenth grade students is a national transition ceremony, indicating the receipt of Israeli citizenship, which grants an entry ticket to participate in the civic life of the State of Israel, its duties and rights. Legally, receiving an identity card is automatic, but in a substantive sense, receiving an identity card symbolizes the acceptance of the civic values of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. Despite this, we are witnessing an increase in manifestations of racism, violence and intolerance among youth, which contradict the values of the state. These phenomena are directly related to stereotypical identification with the other, and to the lack of legitimacy of diversity.
