这篇论文分析了以色列政府引发的一场道德恐慌，目标是抗议一项导致福利大幅削减的新经济计划的单身母亲。道德恐慌发生在政治和经济转型时期，当时以色列正在向市场导向的政府模式迈进。通过将有关新模式的刑事理性和做法的问题纳入道德恐慌的动态分析，本文表明，以色列的运动是由意识形态和信仰的核心工作的新自由主义的政治经济学的形状和支持。分析表明，道德恐慌的外在形式与其他道德情景相似，但其内在内容却不同，这是由新自由主义政权的大背景及其规则和治理技术所决定的。
The paper analyses a moral panic mobilized by the Israeli government, targeting single mothers who protested against a new economic plan that led to dramatic cuts in their welfare benefits. The moral panic occurred during a period of political and economic transition when Israel was moving toward a market-oriented mode of government. By incorporating issues concerning new modes of penal rationalities and practices into the analysis of the dynamics of moral panics, the paper shows that the Israeli campaign was shaped and supported by ideologies and beliefs central to the working of the political economy of neo-liberalism. The analysis shows that the moral panic was similar to other moral scenarios in its external form, but not in its internal content, which was conditioned by the wider context of neo-liberal regime and its techniques of rules and governance.
