Abstract
Abstract In this article, I investigate the ways in which Jewish Israeli anti-occupation activists express reluctance to throwing stones during the regular Friday protests in various Palestinian villages. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, I highlight their feelings of confusion and ambiguity regarding the issue of stone-throwing, which reflect the contradictory demands placed upon them as both Israelis and activists. I argue that the ambiguity they express cannot be analyzed in an ideological, social, or political vacuum; rather, it should be understood in relation to their hopes, expectations, and disappointments, which are situated within particular political imaginaries and projects, ideological prisms, and cultural topoi. This article aims to analyze the ways in which domination and power structures are both challenged and reinforced within the context of political protest.
