Summary
I study the process of enemy-making within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, focusing on how soldiers' perceptions of Palestinians evolve and how hostile attitudes are cultivated. While my research is ongoing, this grant will enable me to collect crucial data from the current conflict, enriching my analysis. I plan to conduct 30 in-depth interviews and publish an article based on these findings.
