War of Words: Political Violence and Public Debate in Israel

Gerald Cromer

4.9/5 (28209 ratings)

Description:This book examines a series of controversies surrounding Israel's use of force and its failure to prevent violence. Influenced by Weber's definition of the state as the 'monopoly of violence', politcial scientists and criminologists alike have focused their attention on the legitimation struggles of non-state actors who resort to violence. This book redresses the balance. Chapters are devoted to the public discourse about Palestinian and Jewish terrorism, the war in Lebanon, the alleged connection between verbal violence of government leaders and the physical violence of its supporters, and the use of history to justify the state use of force. The conclusion considers why these controversies play such a central role in Israeli politics andpresents a number of suggestions as to the function they fulfil in other Western societies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
