内塔尼亚胡的选举算盘与被客体化的黎巴嫩身体Netanyahu's Election Calculus and the Objectified Lebanese Body
120次空袭,在内塔尼亚胡的口语体系里叫“升级攻势”,在加尔通的暴力三角里则是典型的 direct violence。但最恶心的是这背后的 structural violence:这场杀戮的节奏并不取决于前线的军事需求,而取决于一个面临大选的男性政治家需要多少“强人”人设来稳住他的选票。这就是典型的 masculine 权力运作——将他者的生命客体化,把整个黎巴嫩的地理空间变成一个证明自己“强力”的健身房。
所谓的“安全地带”和“防御线”不过是殖民逻辑的现代翻版。通过摧毁房屋、禁止原住民返回,以色列在物理上制造一个真空地带,这与原初种族理论中殖民者对被征服地的清理如出一辙。而那些在空袭中死掉的妇女和儿童,在内塔尼亚胡的叙事里根本不存在,他们只是被抹除的背景板,用来衬托“打击恐怖分子”这个 weaponized concept 的正义性。
最讽刺的是这种共谋:以色列内部的评论员在呼吁“让黎巴嫩的土地颤抖”,这种对恐惧的迷恋是极端的男性中心叙事。他们通过制造他者的绝对绝望,来换取本国男性群体的一种虚假的安全感和权力快感。在这种 meta-violence 之下,和平协议成了随时可以撕毁的 PR 道具,而真实的身体代价则被精准地计算在选票的权重之中。
120 airstrikes are termed an "escalating offensive" in Netanyahu's lexicon, but in Galtung's Violence Triangle, this is textbook direct violence. The real horror lies in the structural violence: the rhythm of this slaughter is dictated not by military necessity, but by how much "strongman" persona a male politician needs to secure his re-election. This is the quintessential masculine power play—objectifying the lives of others and treating the Lebanese landscape as a gym to flex his perceived strength.
The so-called "security zones" and "defense lines" are merely modern iterations of colonial logic. By destroying homes and banning return, Israel creates a physical vacuum, mirroring the clearing of conquered lands described in Primal Race theory. The women and children killed in these strikes are non-existent in Netanyahu's narrative; they are erased backgrounds used to validate the weaponized concept of "fighting terrorists."
The most cynical part is the complicity: Israeli commentators calling for the "ground in Lebanon to tremble" reveals a pathological obsession with fear, a hallmark of masculine-centered narratives. They trade the absolute despair of the Other for a fraudulent sense of security and power for their own male collective. Under this meta-violence, ceasefire agreements are mere PR props, while the actual cost in human bodies is meticulously calculated into the weight of election polls.
