内容摘要： 本文扩展了关于国家性格建议的最近研究，即，以色列的例子是一系列深层次的构建各种实证表现的文化符号的展开。通过扩展这个重新出现的范例，本研究提供了一个特别的关于以色列民族性格主要特点的案例研究，称为生存感的焦虑和灭绝的恐惧。当以色列经常面临持续的、特有的灭绝危险的这个观念不断推进时，它的焦虑和恐惧就越强烈。他们试图在四个层次同时这么做：神话困境、历史证据、当代威胁、未来危险。

Abstract: The present paper extents recent studies of national character-suggesting that the Israeli case revolves a set of deep cultural codes which constitute various empirical manifestations. Broadening on this re-emerging paradigm, the study provides a specific case study of a major trait of Israeli national character, namely existential anxiety and fear of annihilation. It does so while advancing the idea that Israelis constantly reference persistent and endemic existential fears of annihilation. They do so while trying together four levels: the mythological predicament, historical evidence, contemporary threats and future risks.
