Roislien, Hanne Eggen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract This article is the first to explore the Israel Defense Forces's official statistical data on Palestinian terrorism toward Israeli targets during the al-Aqsa intifada 2000-2004. Focusing the analysis on the logic of terrorist target choice, the article identifies two separate results: First, an unambiguous difference in the form of the attacks contingent on whether they are carried out in the state of Israel or in the Occupied Territories. Second, based on the same distinction, the analysis points out how the attacks are targeted toward distinctively different categories of the Israeli populace. Causes of the results are discussed.

Religion and military conscription: the case of the Israel defense forces (IDF) / Roislien, Hanne Eggen   Journal Article
Roislien, Hanne Eggen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The military benefits from fostering an "us-feeling" among its members. On what basis is this formed? Rooted in the discipline of religion, the following article explores how religion feeds into the selective conscription practices of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Combining legal documents with data gathered through interviews with thirty-four soldiers in a combat battalion, it is argued that the IDF's conscription practices are sensitive to the contents of religion. The IDF applies a multifarious concept of religion with significant impact on the IDF's ability to foster a sense of "us." The IDF recruits draftees on the basis of a twofold definition of Judaism, either as an ethnic group or as a theological concept. Both definitions help determine whether one is drafted. Interviews with soldiers expand on this definition, drawing attention to the integrative as well as disintegrative consequences of this notion of religion within the IDF.
