Abstract

ABSTRACT This article applies qualitative dynamic content analysis to archival sources to demonstrate that religious identity was the primary motivation for Orthodox Greek Palestinians to join the Communist Party in 1948. Abandoned by the local Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, this sect of Palestinians hoped to gain the patronage of the Russian Orthodox Church. This was also their motive for supporting the plan of the United Nations to divide Mandatory Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, in contradiction of the national consensus at the time. Marxist theory, depicted as cosmopolitan, multinational, and multisectoral, helped this group camouflage its sectoral organization within the party’s higher echelons. The article stresses the importance of examining time and place when investigating historical decisions of political groups, such as those of the Palestinian communists in Israel, that have a significant impact on the process of shaping collective identity.
巴勒斯坦分治计划交汇处的部门现实主义
摘要本文运用定性动态内容分析方法对档案资料进行分析,证明宗教认同是东正希腊裔巴勒斯坦人在1948年加入共产党的主要动机。被当地的希腊东正教牧首所抛弃,这个巴勒斯坦教派希望得到俄罗斯东正教会的庇护。这也是他们支持联合国将托管巴勒斯坦划分为阿拉伯和犹太国家的计划的动机,这与当时的民族共识相矛盾。马克思主义理论被描述为世界主义的、跨国的、多部门的,帮助这个团体在党的高层中伪装其部门组织。这篇文章强调,在调查政治团体的历史决策时,考察时间和地点的重要性,比如以色列的巴勒斯坦共产党人,它们对塑造集体身份的过程有重大影响。
