“…The present research advances the understanding of relations between group-based emotions and policy support in the context of the Israeli−Palestinian conflict, commonly regarded as intractable (e.g., Harel et al, 2020;Nets-Zehngut & Bar-Tal, 2007). We tested whether the implications of three emotions-hatred, compassion, and hope-for conflict-related policy support (conciliatory or aggressive) were moderated by both political ideology and individual perceptions of collective future.…”

While past studies have demonstrated the role of group‐based emotions in intergroup attitudes within the context of intractable conflicts, it is unknown how individual temporal perspectives, namely collective future orientations and political ideology, moderate the relationship between conflict‐related emotions and support for policies. In two exploratory studies, we adopted a functional approach to emotions in conflict and examined whether the associations between the three group‐based emotions of compassion, hope, and hatred and support for conciliatory versus aggressive policies were moderated by individual perceptions of collective future and by political ideology. The results indicate that the way group‐based emotions predict support for policies is moderated by both future and political orientation, such that high collective future orientation reduces the effect of positively‐valenced emotions on support for conciliatory policies, and increases the effect of negatively‐valenced emotions on support for aggressive policies, but only among leftwingers. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of this nuanced link between group‐based emotions and support for policies, moderated by political ideology and collective future orientation.

“…Peace psychologists have rarely examined issues involved in negotiating ceasefire and managing culpability for achieving ceasefires. In intractable conflicts such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where episodes of violence are recurrent, issues of achieving ceasefire are particularly relevant (Nets-Zehngut & Bar-Tal, 2007). What has been less considered is invested spokespersons' orientations to ceasefire.…”

How are ceasefires rejected without being seen as actively pursuing violence? In this paper we examined this issue through analysis of Israeli spokespersons managed calls for ceasefire put to them in news media interactions during the Gaza War of 2014. More recent scholarship in peace studies has begun to question taken-for-granted versions of peace and violence. Instead, scholars argue for examining how ‘peace’ and ‘violence’ are variously constructed to advance vested positions. In this paper, we extend this focus through a close examination of another ostensibly desirable outcome in conflicts, namely ‘ceasefire’. We examine talk of ceasefire in one episode of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, namely the Gaza War of 2014. Using discursive psychology we examined Israeli spokespersons’ media interviews with international news media organizations. Analysis shows that interviewers treated non-acceptance of ceasefires as potentially accountable. Interviewees similarly oriented to issues in offering a ready rejection of ceasefires. Instead, Israeli spokespersons offered constructions of Hamas and their military actions in ways to downgrade ceasefires on offer for alternative measures. The alternatives were framed as ‘sustainable peace’ or ‘sustainable quiet’ involving further military actions of Israel with the aim to demilitarize Hamas/Gaza. In doing so, Israeli spokespersons could avoid being seen as wanting to engage in further violence to actively harm Palestinians.
