Summary/Abstract |
This article shows that effective reconciliation and peace-building require teaching children a constructed narrative based on the opposing stories, especially with regard to an intractable conflict such as the one that characterizes the Israeli–Palestinian case. Textbooks play an important role in any country when it comes to creating collective memory and political consciousness. They change over time, according to political and social powers within that nation, and can support and inspire processes of war or peace education. In a transition period between war and peace, for example, one can distinguish differential trends of texts that convey acceptance, tolerance, minimization of stereotypes and reduction of war imagery compared to the preceding period – all in the service of building a reality of peace and reconciliation.

Summary/Abstract |
This articles examines the countenance of patriotism and its tendencies among young and mature pre-service teachers during their apprenticeship at school. In order to answer the research questions, we applied mixed methods, both qualitative and quantitative. Our findings show that both the younger and the older students believe that patriotic content should be included in the curriculum. Yet younger students defined patriotism as mere ‘connection’ to the country while the older students defined patriotism in more emotional terms, showing more intense attachment to the country.

Summary/Abstract |
Since Israel’s unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip in 2005 and the consequent seizure of power by Hamas, there has been an ongoing military confrontation between Israel and the Islamist terror organisation. Evacuation of civilians from Israeli border localities (known as the Gaza Envelope) during such confrontations has become a bone of contention between the local residents and the government as the security situation deteriorated and the danger to residents’ lives increased. Using 30 semi-structured in-depth interviews, this article examines the home-leaving experience of Gaza Envelope residents during the May 2021 Gaza War, with reference to interviewees’ mindsets, feelings, and behaviour at the time. Findings show a crisis of trust among those who left, primarily towards the state and its institutions, and secondly towards the social solidarity that used to be a cornerstone of Israeli society.
