Abstract

The Oslo peace process has effectively stalled and failed. In this article I show that by positioning the Oslo process and any political and civic forces involved with it as tainted by irrational and emotional weakness, neo-conservative figures and institutions within Israel have successfully argued for a hyper-masculinized Israeli security paradigm. In this configuration, the process of cooperation and the acknowledgement of Palestinian claims are viewed as weak and reprehensible, while aggressive military strategies, deterrence, and the demand for unequivocal Palestinian acceptance of Israel’s terms are perceived as rational and responsible actions that protect Israeli interests. By conflating security with the state, Israeli political leaders perpetuate the conflict rather than resolve it.

现状与政治选择的女性化

奥斯陆和平进程实际上已经停滞和失败。在这篇文章中，我展示了通过将奥斯陆进程和任何与之相关的政治和公民力量定位为被非理性和情感弱点所玷污，以色列内部的新保守主义人物和机构成功地论证了一种高度男性化的以色列安全范式。在这种情况下，合作和承认巴勒斯坦要求的过程被视为软弱和应受谴责，而侵略性的军事战略，威慑和要求巴勒斯坦明确接受以色列的条件被视为理性和负责任的行动，以保护以色列的利益。通过将安全与国家混为一谈，以色列政治领导人使冲突永久化，而不是解决冲突。
