These trends have been wielded by scholar-activists, many of whom lack proficiency in Hebrew and have limited experience in Israel, resulting in the widespread distortion of crucial terms. The pervasiveness of this distortion has reached a point where it is challenging to recall the original meanings of these terms. Moreover, the dissolution of a vocabulary of historical explanation into today's crude value judgments and unhinged polemics distorts the academic study of Israel, Palestinians, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, more broadly, politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHijacking the Arab-Israeli Conflict emphasizes the prevalence of a delegitimizing lexicon of terms and concepts in highly politicized anti-Zionist scholarship. This book specifically focuses on this linkage between language and thought, as it has long been a central concern in political theory and philosophy. The chapters included in this volume were originally published as a special issue of Israel Affairs, further highlighting the importance of reclaiming the academic discourse surrounding this complex and contentious region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032020853\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44646920356090,"sku":"9781032020853","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697219033579_book.jpg?v=1697576878","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hijacking-the-arabisraeli-conflict-9781032020853","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
