This activism is manifested in direct action solidarity movements, the critical stances of some Israeli human rights and humanitarian NGOs, and less well-known initiatives that promote social justice within Jewish Israel as a means of undermining the overwhelming support for militarism and nationalism that characterizes Israeli domestic politics. In chronicling these attempts at solidarity with those most injured by Israeli policy, Wright reveals dissent to be a fraught negotiation of activists' own citizenship in which they feel simultaneously repulsed and responsible. Based on eighteen months of fieldwork, The Israeli Radical Left provides a nuanced account of various kinds of Jewish Israeli antioccupation and antiracist activism as both spaces of subversion and articulations of complicity. Wright does not level complicity as an accusation, but rather recasts the concept as an analysis of the impurity of ethical and political relations and the often uncomfortable ways in which this makes itself felt during moments of attempted solidarity. She imparts how activists persistently underline their own feelings of complicity and the impossibility of reconciling their principles with the realities of their everyday lives, despite the fact that the activism in which they engage specifically aims to challenge Jewish Israeli citizens' participation in state violence. The first full ethnographic account of the Israeli radical left, Wright's book explores the ethics and politics of Jewish Israeli activists who challenge the violence perpetrated by their state and in their name. 410 0$aEthnography of political violence. 606 $aPolitical activists$zIsrael 606 $aLeft-wing extremists$zIsrael 606 $aGovernment, Resistance to$xMoral and ethical aspects$zIsrael 606 $aGovernment, Resistance to$zIsrael$xPsychological aspects 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aPolitical violence$zIsrael$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPolitical violence$xMoral and ethical aspects$zIsrael 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xPsychological aspects 607 $aIsrael$xEthnic relations$xPsychological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical activists 615 0$aLeft-wing extremists 615 0$aGovernment, Resistance to$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aGovernment, Resistance to$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aPolitical violence$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPolitical violence$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a320.53095694 700 $aWright$b Fiona$01029274 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493663103321 996 $aThe Israeli Radical Left$92445579 997 $aUNINA
