Since Israeli became a state in 1948, Israelis have experienced increasing violence and war due to the conflict over land between Israel and its broadening Arab nations. This study seeks to determine the degree to which conflict in the Middle East has directly affected the popular music in Israel. In this study, I identified Israeli popular music, and sorted it by its emergence within Israeli history. Then I determined the themes that have emerged in Israeli popular music, and identified how the themes have changed over time since 1948. I conducted a comprehensive literature review of primary and secondary sources, as well as listening to, analyzing and coding Israeli popular music. My research generates theoretical consequences of the conflict in the Middle East on popular music in Israeli by combining previous theories on “art and revolution” (Wagner, 1993) and Israeli popular music (Regev, 1989). Overall, my research has implied that although no direct correlations can be made between Israeli popular music and specific political events, the overall changing political condition of Israeli over time has had a direct affect on its respective popular music.
