If the horrors of the last few days assume a greater moral importance for the media than the horrors of the last years then the moral response of the moment threatens to overshadow an understanding of the radical injustices suffered by occupied Palestine and the Palestinians displaced by the force as well as the humanitarian disaster and loss of life currently taking place in Gaza. Some people rightly fear that any contextualization of the violent acts committed by Hamas will be used to exonerate this organization or that the contextualization will divert attention from the horror of what they did. But what if it were horror itself that leads us to contextualize Where does this horror begin where does it end When the press talks about a war between Hamas and Israel it offers a framework for understanding the situation.
In fact it is an answer in advance. or if it is spoken of as an open sky Russia Mobile Number List then a different interpretation is expressed. It seems like a description but language restricts or facilitates what we can say how we can describe and what can be known. Yes language can describe but it gains the power to do so only if it conforms to the limits imposed on what is sayable. If it is decided that it is not necessary for us to know how many Palestinian children and adolescents were murdered in the West Bank and Gaza during this year or throughout the years of occupation if this information is not important to know or assess the attacks on Israel and the murders of Israelis then we have decided that we do not wish to know the history of violence grief and indignation as it is experienced by Palestinians.
We only wish to know the history of violence grief and indignation as it is experienced by Israelis. An Israeli friend who describes herself as antiZionist writes online that she is terrified for her family and friends that she has lost people close to her. And our hearts should be with her as mine certainly is. It is unequivocally terrible. And yet is there no moment when his own experience of horror and loss of her friends and family is imagined as what a Palestinian might feel on the other side or what he may have felt after years of bombing prison and military violence I am also a Jewish person living with transgenerational trauma following atrocities committed against people like me.
