The article examines the political socialization of young Jewish-Israeli children who live under the Israeli-Palestinian intractable conflict. It proposes arguments and presents empirical evidence to suggest that the way in which political socialization of young children happens in this context contributes to the development of conflict-supporting narratives of ethos of conflict and collective memory by the youngest generation. As a result, the conflict solidifies adherence to these narratives in adulthood, thereby serving as a major obstacle to the processes of peace-making and peace-building. Specifically, as evidence for showing how the political socialization works in Israel, a series of studies conducted in Israeli kindergartens and elementary schools are presented. These studies recount the contents acquired by young children, as well as contents delivered by teachers, related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This indicates the serious consequences of acquiring conflict-supporting narratives at an early age in societies involved in intractable conflict.

棘手冲突中的幼儿：以色列案。

本文探讨了生活在以色列-巴勒斯坦顽固冲突下的犹太-以色列年轻儿童的政治社会化。它提出了论点并提供了经验证据，以表明在这种情况下幼儿的政治社会化发生方式有助于发展支持冲突的关于冲突精神和集体记忆的叙述，并发展到最年轻的一代。结果，冲突巩固了成年后对这些叙述的坚持，从而成为建立和平与建立和平进程的主要障碍。具体而言，作为证明以色列政治社会化如何运作的证据，提出了在以色列幼儿园和小学进行的一系列研究。这些研究叙述了幼儿获得的内容，以及教师提供的与以巴冲突有关的内容。这表明，在难以解决的冲突社会中，早日获得支持冲突的叙述的严重后果。
