Abstract

This essay analyses the racial constructs and discursive webs that justified the separation of babies from their families, with reference to the Kidnapped Babies Affair in Israel. The discourse of hygiene and the view of Yemenite Jews as ‘Others,’ as articulated by David Ben-Gurion and other Ashkenazi Zionist leaders of Israel, are especially highlighted. The article contrasts mainstream-media framing practices with the dominance of new digital narratives. While the emergence of social media grants agency to previously silenced victims, I argue that the attitude of the Israeli state remains a major force in the ongoing Israeli official rejection of this story. Despite a breakthrough in the public perception of this narrative, the road to full transparency and justice remains elusive.

从主流媒体到社交媒体：以色列被绑架的也门婴儿事件与记忆与正义之争

本文以以色列的绑架婴儿事件为例，分析了种族结构和话语网络，这些结构和话语网络证明了将婴儿与家人分离的合理性。大卫·本-古里安和其他以色列德系犹太复国主义领导人所阐述的卫生话语和也门犹太人作为“他人”的观点尤其突出。这篇文章对比了主流媒体框架实践与新数字叙事的主导地位。虽然社交媒体的出现为先前沉默的受害者提供了帮助，但我认为以色列政府的态度仍然是以色列官方持续拒绝这一故事的主要力量。尽管公众对这种叙述的看法有所突破，但通往充分透明和公正的道路仍然难以捉摸。
