This research focuses on the internal discourse of the Gush Katif settlers, exposes their socio-political perceptions, and attempts to understand the motives and the socio-psychological reasoning determining the settlers’ conduct. An understanding of the settlers’ discourse entails understanding their perception of “a home” - a geographic location strongly tied with their individual and community identity. The research highlights the frequent tension between the humane, individual and communal discourse and the national-religious discourse.
