- Abstract:
This article explores the crisis in Israel Studies and the ethical considerations of academic research in the humanities and social sciences. It highlights the impact of the October 7th Hamas massacre on the conflict and the need for scholars to reexamine their assumptions. The author emphasizes the importance of methodologies and their connection to ethical and aesthetic beliefs, as well as the role of the humanities in understanding and shaping humanity. The text also critiques textbooks that present certain narratives as historical truth and discusses the ideological and methodological approaches of scholars studying Jewish and Palestinian identities and the Israel-Palestine conflict. It calls for a new historiography that prioritizes rigor, honesty, and humanistic ethics. [Extracted from the article]
