Israeli Discourse and the West Bank

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of contemporary Israeli political discourse dealing with the West Bank during the election campaign of 2015. It will lay theoretical and methodological foundations for a cross-cultural study of occupation and other forms of repressive discourses as an initial step in the promotion of a 'culture of peace'. Israeli political discourse about the West Bank plays a key role in the public perception of the occupation, as well as in any peace talks that would affect the future of the region. Significant effort will be invested in providing sufficient background information so that readers having little knowledge about Israel or its wars can readily place the analysis into perspective.
