摘要：

This paper presents an analysis of data of suicide terrorism attacks (167 case studies) which were carried out by terrorist organizations in the period 1993-2008, in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. A description of these events is used as a key to understand a unique Israeli phenomenon, that of the direct influence of terror attacks on internal Israeli politics. In this paper, we will examine the case studies with the help of two methodological approaches. The first, the positivistic approach, will help us to expose the official narrative of the events, namely, the chronological history of the case studies as portrayed in books and in the Israeli mass media. Then, with the help of the interpretive approach, we will show the alternative narrative which represents an attempt to decipher the phenomenon of the Israeli national symbols.
