	abstract = {When and why do communities accept novel ideas as intuitively\&nbsp;convincing? In the present study, we make use of the socio-cultural\&nbsp;fragmentation of Israeli society to expose the discursive processes shaping\&nbsp;the culture-dependent resonance of ideas. Specifically, we trace how Israeli\&nbsp;president Reuven Rivlin{\textquoteright}s interpretation of two lethal attacks by Jewish\&nbsp;extremists on a Palestinian family and the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade\&nbsp;were received across Israel{\textquoteright}s ultra-orthodox, settler, LGBT and Palestinian\&nbsp;communities, as well as the mainstream right, center, and left. In a\&nbsp;comparative analysis of media coverage catering to these groups, we\&nbsp;distinguish six discursive responses to proposed ideas, which depend on\&nbsp;their perception as plausible and appropriate given prior community\&nbsp;beliefs. Our findings suggest a distinction between two possible meanings\&nbsp;of resonance: Some ideas {\textquoteleft}click{\textquoteright} and are seamlessly appropriated in\&nbsp;passing by a community, while others {\textquoteleft}strike a chord{\textquoteright} and raise a salient\&nbsp;and emotional public debate.},
