Description
Soldiering Under Occupation: Processes of Numbing Among Israeli Soldiers in the Al-Aqsa Intifada by Erella Grassiani explores the complex moral landscape faced by young Israeli men serving as combat soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces during the Al Aqsa Intifada. The study examines how structural circumstances influence their behavior and decision-making, shedding light on the ways in which processes of numbing affect their actions. Grassiani's research focuses on the experiences of these soldiers, particularly those stationed in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, to understand the factors that contribute to their moral numbing. By analyzing the soldiers' situations and circumstances, the book reveals how numbing processes operate at different levels, impacting their behavior and decision-making. This thought-provoking study offers a nuanced understanding of the psychological and social dynamics at play in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, providing valuable insights into the complexities of occupation and its effects on those involved.
