The significant role of the sense of national belonging in coping with stress created by national terror was found in several studies (for example: Possick, Sadeh & Shamai; Ritov, 2009; Ron & Shamai, In process, Shamai & Ron, 2009). The findings, which are briefly described in the first part of the paper, emphasize national identification as a meaning that people assign to the loss or stress created by the terrorist attacks. This is followed by a discussion of the possible impacts of the absence of such a sense of national belonging within immigrant societies. The last part focuses on directions for further research that will enrich our understanding of processes that encourage violent political activities against the absorbing society and processes that increase acculturation possibilities within the absorbing society.
