The article examines how Israeli Palestinian and Jewish middle-class mothers mediate military conflict to young children, through silence and talk. This mediation is underpinned by dissonance between the mandate to protect children from the adult world and to ready them for it, and between the idea of children as individuals and conflict as collective engagement. The article explores the discourses and practices used for managing this twofold dissonance, including differences in the privilege of silence for Palestinian and Jewish mothers.

保持沉默：以色列中产阶级巴勒斯坦和犹太妇女的日常母亲在军事冲突中的调停

本文探讨了以色列巴勒斯坦和犹太中产阶级母亲如何通过沉默和谈话调解军事冲突给年幼的孩子。这种调解的基础是保护儿童不受成人世界侵害并为成人世界做好准备的授权与儿童作为个人的观念与冲突作为集体参与的观念之间的不协调。本文探讨了用于处理这种双重不和谐的论述和做法，包括巴勒斯坦和犹太母亲在沉默特权方面的差异。
