“…Research on the direct impact of war on civilians has focused primarily on the psychological reactions of children and youth (Freud & Burlingham, 1943; Mahjoub, Leyens, Yzerbyt, et al ., 1989; Milgram, 1982) as well as on the adjustment of bereaved parents and war widows. The effects of war and border tension on Israeli adults has also been studied (Kaffman, 1977; Zuckerman‐Bareli, 1979).…”

This study attempted to delineate styles of family interaction and behavior during war. Sixty-six families were randomly selected during the first week of the Gulf War and were telephone-interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Qualitative methodology was used to analyze the interview transcripts. Three themes emerged: the emotional atmosphere (degree of expressed stress), mode of family organization, and extent and form of interpersonal relationship. When these categories were considered, four types of families were found: (1) the Anxious Family, characterized by high level of stress, low role distribution, negative interaction style; (2) the Cautious Family, with high stress, clear role allocation, positive interaction among members; (3) the Confident Family, typified by low stress level, clear role allocation, and positive non-interaction; and (4) the Indifferent family, characterized by low stress level, no role allocation, and negative non-interaction. These findings are discussed in terms of recent attempts to clarify the concept and describe the process of family coping, as well as in terms of understanding family behavior in other stressful situations.

“…Many scholars who assess children from a psycho‐emotional perspective (Elbedour, Onwuegbuzie, Ghannam, Whitcome, & Abu Hein, ; Goldson, ; Jones, ; Khamis, ; Qouta, Punamaki, Montgomery, & El Sarraj, ) focus on how conflict impacts children's mental well‐being. Indeed, scholars who have studied children in violent settings have found high stress levels and psychological difficulties (Baker, ; Garbarino & Kostelny, ; Khamis, ; Mahjoub, Leyens, Yzerby, & Di Giacomo, ). Vivian Khamis () points to various manifestations of post‐traumatic stress disorder, which she cites as having been diagnosed in approximately 34 percent of Palestinian children surveyed in Occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank.…”

Drawing from reports and documentation published by Israeli and Palestinian human rights and children's rights organizations, and establishing the analyses from the voices and stories of Palestinian children suffering from politically motivated abuses, the present paper examines child abuse in settler colonial contexts. Through the analyses of the various voices, narratives, and reports, the paper examines the inscription of state power over children's bodies and lives, marking the connection between biopolitics and geopolitics, as well as the resultant suffering of children. The analyses of the collected data suggest that knowledge about child maltreatment and the violations of children's rights cannot be dislocated from the history, politics, and structure of settler colonialism. The paper concludes by arguing that living a childhood situated in spaces of exterminability, as the voices of the studied children reveal, should be defined as child abuse and maltreatment.
