Meir Har-Zion's act of reprisal: Reality and memory

On the night of March 5, 1955, Meir Har-Zion set out with three friends to avenge the murder of his sister and her boyfriend in the Judean Desert (in Jordanian territory), about two months earlier. They murdered five innocent Jordanian Bedouins and crossed back into Israel. Upon their return, they were placed under arrest and held until the end of March. This article examines the changes in Israeli perceptions of Har-Zion's reprisal act over the course of thirty years, from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s, in order to shed light on the ways in which collective memory is molded in Israel as well as on the changes in Israeli society's attitude toward the issue of revenge and retaliation, from understanding and even admiration to condemnation and delegitimization.     

20世纪50年代美国政府关于核报复战略的内部争论

研究“核威慑”这一军事理念正式形成的50年代美国核战略的决策史,有助于认识今天再度得到强化的美国核战略态势。有关档案献显示,在军事战略领域首次正式将威慑理论付诸实践的艾森豪威尔政府,在“新面貌”战略特别是其中的“大规模报复战略”的具体实施问题上,一直存在严重分歧并为此展开了持久的争论。这既是出于对美苏核军备竞赛所加剧的全面战争危险和美苏可能最终形成战略均势的深切担忧,也是因为该战略在扼阻地区冲突方面的明显局限性。但由于对外部威胁的基本判断没有改变,加上现行战略的内在矛盾,艾森豪威尔政府始终无法彻底改弦更张,只能作一些局部的修补,因而未能摆脱战略上的困境。
