The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.

Let's popularise a bit 😋

Because I like to create stories, I'm starting a #series for you: #EstelleInterprets

Episode 1: "Jew or Israelite?"

(The definition of #Israeli is easy: "in the State of Israel". So it doesn't apply before 1948).

#Israelite" may have one of two meanings: ethnic and religious/secular. Neither is linked to citizenship in Israel-Palestine.
