掩体下的“少数暴徒”与被殖民的原初种族The 'Handful of Rioters' Shield and the Colonized Primal Race
一个被口罩遮住脸的以色列定居者,用棍棒袭击一名巴勒斯坦女性和新闻团队。内塔尼亚胡迅速启动了标准的 weaponized 叙事:将其定义为“少数暴徒” (a handful of rioters) 的犯罪行为。这种表达极其阴险,它试图将一场系统性的 structural violence 降格为个别个体的 direct violence,从而把国家机器从共谋者的席位上摘除,伪装成一个维护法律的公正第三方。
但事实是,这根本不是什么“个案”。当定居者可以开着挂有以色列车牌的车辆,在占领区肆无忌惮地驱逐原住民、封锁物资,而安全部队所谓的“恢复秩序”仅仅是把暴徒从抢占的民房里请出来,这种 structural 层的纵容就是一种默许的指令。在这种机制下,定居者的暴力不是对法律的违背,而是对殖民意志的执行。所谓的“法律”,在原初种族面前从来不是保护伞,而是筛选谁有权施暴的筛子。
在这起事件中,被袭击的巴勒斯坦女性 Aida Ahmed Abdullah 是这个殖民蓝图中最典型的受害者。作为原初种族的一部分,她的身体、房屋和生存权被定义为可被掠夺的客体。当新闻团队试图通过采访来制造一个认知入口时,暴力立即介入。这种介入不是为了掩盖某个暴徒的罪行,而是为了维护那个“男性中心”的殖民叙事:在这里,定义事实的权力只属于持有枪支和车牌的人。
内塔尼亚胡在担心以色列的“国际形象” (standing in the world),而不是在担心被殴打的女性。这种对 image 的在意,恰恰证明了这场暴力是计算后的结果——只要代价在可控范围内,暴力就是最优解表达。
A masked Israeli settler attacks a Palestinian woman and a news team with sticks. Netanyahu immediately deploys a weaponized narrative: labeling them as "a handful of rioters." This expression is insidious; it attempts to downgrade systemic structural violence into isolated incidents of direct violence, scrubbing the state from its position of complicity and posing as a just third party upholding the law.
In reality, this is no "isolated case." When settlers can drive cars with Israeli plates to evict indigenous people and block supplies while security forces "restore order" by simply removing rioters from stolen homes, this structural indulgence is a tacit command. In this mechanism, settler violence is not a violation of the law, but an execution of the colonial will. The "law," for the Primal Race, has never been a shield, but a sieve determining who is permitted to exercise violence.
Palestinian woman Aida Ahmed Abdullah is the quintessential victim of this colonial blueprint. As part of the Primal Race, her body, home, and right to exist are defined as objects to be plundered. When the news team attempted to create a cognitive entry through an interview, violence intervened. This intervention was not to hide a criminal's act, but to maintain the masculine-centric colonial narrative: here, the power to define facts belongs only to those with guns and license plates.
Netanyahu worries about Israel's "standing in the world," not the beaten woman. This obsession with image proves that this violence is a calculated result—as long as the cost remains manageable, violence remains the optimal expression.
