Abstract
In a reality of ongoing wars and disputes that have lasted for nearly 100 years, conflict and culture have become intertwined. Therefore, this ethnographic research aims to explore the cultural conjunctions in which Israelis’ perception of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict takes shape. This research defines a cultural conjunction as any event, time-period, institution, or experience that shapes the Israeli understanding of their perception on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To achieve this, the research utilizes participatory methods by involving Israelis who identify these conjunctions. Based on a survey that yielded 141 responses (n=47), 15 themes were identified, from which three predominant cultural conjunctions were established for the purpose of the research: (1) Violence, (2) Culture & Education, and (3) Conflict Resolution Attempts & Representation. In addition, five in-depth interviews provide insights into five additional themes and sub-themes that assist in studying these conjunctions. By deeply comprehending each conjunction, this ethnographic research addresses the challenges and difficulties in forming perceptions toward the “other side” in the context of conflict. Building on these insights, this study suggests takeaways optimize and improve existing conjunctions to alleviate what interviewees defined as frustration, anger, sadness, and fear regarding the conflict. This research and data disclosed in this study can serve as a framework for further research.
