The Power of David’s Stone.
Master thesis, Master Religion Conflict and Globalisation.
Abstract
Since the start of the Israel-Palestine conflict in 1948, the conflict has been seen as a battle over land and political power. It is seen as a conflict fought with stones. Over the last few decades, Israeli actions against stone throwers have become disproportioned in their harshness and violence. This thesis sets out to understand why this is. Working with the understanding, based on the dominant societal and historical narratives in both Israel and Palestine, that we need to change the lens through which we see the conflict, this thesis will argue that the disproportioned harshness from Israel is the result of a perceived direct attack against their identity.
