The Settler-Dilemma: Multitudes of Denial in the Settler-Colonial State

我感兴趣的是否认作为定居者殖民主义的一个特征，它在以色列社会中获得的多层次形式，以及它如何在以色列-巴勒斯坦背景下运作。更具体地说，我的研究关注的是否认是如何吸引以色列的人权活动家和自由派定居者的。探索以色列的自由主义议程及其培养的行动主义是有趣的，因为它是对自由主义定居者-殖民者的广泛批评以及表面上的逻辑僵局和理论僵局的一部分，这些僵局和理论僵局使他们着迷。由于否定不是单一的，也不是稳定的，它同时施加外部和内部的力量，我也关心如何完成和维持否定的问题。定居者殖民主义和对它的抵抗日益成为研究的主题，在描绘和理论化过去和现在的以色列-巴勒斯坦关系方面发挥了新的作用。巴勒斯坦、以色列和国际学者广泛而有知识地从定居者-殖民地的角度研究以色列，但通常不关注否认的普遍方面，否认在定居者-殖民地社会中所扮演的角色，它是如何运作的，以及它所带来的广泛影响。

I am interested in denial as a feature of settler-colonialism, the multi-layered form it acquired within Israeli society, and how it operates in the Israeli-Palestinian context. More specifically, my research concerns how denial enthralls human rights activists in Israel and liberal settlers in general. Exploring the Israeli liberal agenda and the activism it cultivates is interesting as part of the vast critique of liberal settler-colonisers and the ostensible logical deadlocks and theoretical impasses that enthrall them. Since denial is not monolithic nor stable, and it exerts both external and internal powers, I am also concerned with the question of how denial is accomplished and maintained.Settler-colonialism and the resistance to it has become increasingly the subject of research, playing a revitalized role in depicting and theorising Israeli-Palestinian relations of the past and present. Palestinian, Israeli, and international scholars extensively and knowledgeably examine Israel in settler-colonial terms, but do not usually attend to the pervading aspect of denial, the role denial maintains in settler-colonial societies, how it functions, and the extensive implications it carries.
