Abstract

Book Reviews differed. While the Israelis used the term ‘terrorists’, Hizbollah called its fighters ‘jihadists’, as pointed out by the authors. According to the study the Israelis used a lexicon which had an effect on both Israeli and world public opinion, while Hizbollah, too, made frequent use of words with psychological connotations that could be used to present as legitimate the seizing of Israeli soldiers. At the war’s end each side used words which expressed that side’s claim for victory. Chapter five discusses ‘the new Israeli Arab’ in the context of ‘linguistic orientalism’. The authors’ start from the relations between the Jewish majority in Israel and the Palestinian minority, not just inside Israel but also in the West Bank, Gaza, and the diasporas. However, the important element in this chapter is the discussion concerning the Arabs inside Israel and the authorities’ efforts to create a new Arab identity of Israeli manufacture. While the purpose of this may have been to marginalise the Arabs, some Israeli political parties have begun to realise that this has not worked. Among the live examples recorded by the authors are forty-one names denoting Arabs, each with its own political, geographical or other connotation
