Abstract
This article, written by Muhammad Amara, analyses the names given to the different wars – from 1948 hitherto – on both the Israeli and Arab sides. Amara surveys and analyses the names given to six wars (in the years 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982 and 2006), two Palestinian intifāḍas (1987 and 2000), and three Israeli attacks on Gaza (2008, 2012 and 2014) in Hebrew and in Arabic. Referencing Suleiman’s argument that ‘code names offer us snapshots of symbolic meanings along a moving frame… However, by tracking the major breaks in this frame, we can identify the major sociopolitical ruptures in society,’ Amara highlights how language in the Israeli–Arab conflict not only reflects events in the political arena and on the battlefield, but also shapes the realities of both sides of the conflict.
