Two key questions I sought to answer were: How does meaning-making of past Holocaust collective memory affect Jewish-Israelis' current understanding and experience of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict? And, how do personal experiences of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict affect Jewish-Israelis' meaning-making of Holocaust collective memory? I chose a mixed methods approach to both obtain breadth and depth in the answers of Jewish-Israelis residing in Israel. I conducted an online survey both in Hebrew and English to gather a spectrum of perspectives from 328 participants. I then traveled to Israel and carried out face-to-face in depth interviews with 35 Jewish-Israelis with a wide range of demographic backgrounds: from settlements, kibbutzim and cities; politically left and right wing; dovish and hawkish; religious and secular; male and female; ranging in age from early twenties to mid eighties; survivors, descendants of survivors and participants who's families were not affected by the Holocaust. Findings from hierarchical multiple linear regressions and binary logistic regressions supported the association between political orientation (hawkishness/dovishness) and lessons drawn from the Holocaust (particularistic/universalistic). Support was found for a relationship between universalistic lessons and agreement with compromise policies as a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, however, not for particularistic lessons and right-wing policy of transfer of Palestinians. Finally, there was support for a connection between dovishness, the duty to care for others as a result of the legacy of the Holocaust, and between hawkishness and the duty to ensure the continuity of the Jewish people and culture. What emerged from an analysis of narrative interviews was a dialectical pattern of thought in which hawks and doves carried mixed and contradicting beliefs of both Holocaust lessons and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. These contradictions were found to be mutually inclusive such that it was possible for individuals to both believe in particularistic and universalistic lessons of the Holocaust, and to feel conflicted about both wanting to protect themselves as a group, while wanting to care for the outgroup (Palestinians). 530 Electronic version(s) |bavailable internally at USHMM. 533 Photocopy. |bAnn Arbor, Mich. : |cUniversity Microfilms International, |d2013. |e21 cm. 590 Dissertations and Theses 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Collective memory. 650 0 Arab-Israeli conflict. 650 0 Arab-Israeli conflict |xMoral and ethical aspects. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xInfluence. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xMoral and ethical aspects. 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 650 7 Arab-Israeli conflict. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00812220 650 7 Arab-Israeli conflict |xMoral and ethical aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00812229 650 7 Collective memory. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01739814 650 7 Ethics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00972484 648 7 1939 - 1945 |2fast 856 42 |3ProQuest, Abstract |uhttp://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:dissertation&res_dat=xri:pqm&rft_dat=xri:pqdiss:3574698 956 41 |uhttp://dc.ushmm.org/library/bib246712/3574698.pdf |zHosted by USHMM. 852 0 |bstacks |hHM1033 |iA53 2013 852 |bebook
