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 and presents a number of suggestions as to the function they fulfil in other Western societies. 606 $aPolitical violence$zIsrael$xPublic opinion 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zIsrael 606 $aTerrorism$xGovernment policy$zIsrael 606 $aPolitical culture$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPolitical violence$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aTerrorism$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPolitical culture 676 $a303.6/095694 700 $aCromer$b Gerald$f1944-$01760483 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826413303321 996 $aA war of words$94199476 997 $aUNINA
