Orit Rozin

Orit Rozin, an Associate Professor in Jewish History at Tel Aviv University, discusses the emotional challenges faced by Israelis from 1949 to 1967 in her work, Emotions of Conflict. She uncovers how public sentiment was influenced by conflict and policy-makers' emotional regimes. Rozin examines the roles of fear, resilience, and resistance, revealing how emotions shaped national identity and responses to insecurity. The conversation also touches on the manipulative aspects of emotional governance and the ongoing implications for contemporary discourse.
