摘要

摘要：本文考察了以色列与萨赫勒国家马里和乍得之间的早期互动。最初，萨赫勒国家将以色列视为一个独特的发展和社会主义模式，而以色列则希望找到一个温和和可接受的伊斯兰教版本。以色列对非洲伊斯兰教温和但可塑性的看法促使以色列努力保护其免受“阿拉伯”的负面影响。尽管如此，这些早期的假设很快就消失了。许多萨赫勒地区的人对以色列感到失望，并寻求更可靠的盟友，而以色列越来越多地恢复与该地区非穆斯林少数民族和亲西方势力结成联盟。调查以色列与萨赫勒地区的早期关系突显了全球关于非洲伊斯兰教的讨论的复杂性，说明了认知和期望在塑造国际关系中的作用，并为分析非殖民化时代的非以接触增加了重要的一层。

"Different Islam from the One We Know in the Middle East": Perceptions and Transformations in Early Israeli-Sahelian Relations, 1958–1965

ABSTRACT:The article examines the early interactions between Israel and the Sahelian states of Mali and Chad. Initially, the Sahelian states viewed Israel as a unique model of development and socialism, while Israel hoped to find a moderate and accepting version of Islam. Israeli perceptions of the benign yet malleable nature of African Islam prompted efforts to protect it from negative 'Arab' influences. Nevertheless, these early assumptions quickly faded. Many Sahelians became disillusioned with Israel and sought more reliable allies, while Israel increasingly reverted to forging alliances with non-Muslim minorities and pro-Western forces in the region. Investigating early Israeli-Sahelian relations highlights the complexity of the global discourse about African Islam, illustrates the role of perceptions and expectations in shaping international relations, and adds an important layer to the analysis of African-Israeli contact in the era of decolonization.

期刊介绍： Israel Studies presents multidisciplinary scholarship on Israeli history, politics, society, and culture. Each issue includes essays and reports on matters of broad interest reflecting diverse points of view. Temporal boundaries extend to the pre-state period, although emphasis is on the State of Israel. Due recognition is also given to events and phenomena in diaspora communities as they affect the Israeli state. It is sponsored by the Ben-Gurion Research Institute for the Study of Israel and Zionism at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University, in affiliation with the Association for Israel Studies.
