18. It is important to emphasize that the concept of 'power' is both vague and multidimensional. This paper follows Marshall's definition (adapted from Weber), with all the implications attendant on such a step.
19. Marshall's typology of citizenship rights includes civic rights. The latter have not been included in the analysis here, however, due the lack of data in the surveys.

46. In an article of this length, it would be impossible to discuss in detail all of the complexities of the Israeli citizenship regime. This discussion does not, for example, include all of the types of rights that are relevant to the stratification of Israeli citizenship, nor is the unique status of Israel's Arab citizens, and the significant history of that status, covered here.

62. Using confirmatory factor analyses determined that the differences between the scale dimensions were valid. The content validity between different rights was confirmed by comparing the model that distinguishes between the rights with an alternative in which none of the rights were distinctive.
63. The two telephone surveys were conducted using a random sampling of land lines in July 2005 (N-504) and September 2007 (N-550). Interviews were conducted by the Statistics Consulting Unit at the University of Haifa using trained telephone-survey interviewers. Additional details about the samples are available upon request.

65. In the 2005 and 2007 surveys, all mean differences were significant.
66. It should be stressed that this pattern was consistent in the 2005 and 2007 surveys regardless of internal distinctions (e.g. secular and religious) in the Jewish samples.
