Via Jewish Voice for Peace and UFPJ, this "Letter from Tel Aviv",
on a leftist Jewish family's experience visiting Israel in the midst
of this war ... Some quotes:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">One commentator rightly said that Iron Dome
functions as the Deus-ex-Machina of this war. Everyone but us is
convinced it saves lives. We see it more as a psychological

people so worked up here is largely produced by the Iron Dome
system itself. What is striking if not outright suspicious is that

<blockquote type="cite">How come everyone, even in our leftie
circles, is so psychologically affected by this war? Why are they
so afraid? earlier rounds - the second Intifada with buses and
markets exploding - were much more terrifying. Of course far too
many are first and foremost afraid for the lives of their loved
ones, soldiers and reservists in Gaza. In my family a distant
relative was wounded; the brother of a friend is "inside"; The ex
of a friend, who I know way back from our military service during
the first Intifada, was drafted. [...]<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">We attempted to describe the regime of
manufactured fear and psychological support for the war,
penetrating all aspects of life in all directions. For the vast
majority of the country this fear is disproportionate to the
actual threat. We described also a climate of threat of violence
and violence directed against any form of dissent. In an
atmosphere of pending emergency dissent is forbidden and any
government action addressing the collective paranoia from the
threat of Hamas is seen in a positive light. [...] We do not

reasonable safety, but staying safe on the street is a slightly
more complicated task than calculating where the nearest building
entrance is in case of a siren alarm. </blockquote>

children, incessantly consume updates on strikes and interceptions
through the 'red color' app. The app with the red icon on
their smartphones is decorated with a sound radiation sign
resembling the nuclear danger logo. </blockquote>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Hamas is seen as a mortal, inhuman enemy,
which must be crushed, decimated. In line with Prime Minister
Netanyahu it is for many heir to Amalek in ancient times and
Hitler. This is no apology but Israelis have been traumatized by
the savage campaigns of suicide bombings of Hamas beginning in the
1990s, and so it is psychologically impossible for many to
acknowledge that however criminal the actions of military
resistance to the occupation sometimes are, in fact as soon as
Hamas took power over Gaza in 2006 it became an intimate strategic
partner of the militant Israeli government. Mash'al and Bibi are
caught like lovers on an airplane about to crash in a deadly
embrace for their own survival. </blockquote>

<div class="moz-forward-container">
<blockquote type="cite">Candidates for jobs are asked to write
letters renouncing their political opinions. University
presidents intervene personally to block 'controversial'
appointments. Ron Shoval, former leader of Im Tirtzu
organizations called to put to use the boycott law, from its
sinful inception no more than a dead letter law, to preemptively
prosecute and jail human rights defenders.</blockquote>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">We encounter both this white fascism
running through the main echelons of Israeli society, and the
street fascism, those small but well organized gangs of the
extreme right who mobilize to beat and intimidate anti-war
protestors when they take to the street. In the cultural war
raging here it is the Mizrahi face of the extreme right chanting
'death to Arab' on the street that grabs all the attention.
Haaretz is covering this Mizrahi extreme right extensively.
Indeed, it is perceived by lefties especially as menacing, as
the 'sewage' flooding civilized Israel. But, <b>the white
fascism of university presidents or Im Tirtzu is far worse,
far more dangerous. One Ron Shoval is more effective in
crushing dissent than a thousand street gangs.</b> Those are
the people who really hold the key to a complete breakdown of
the façade of Israeli democracy.</blockquote>

The summer in Israel was planned long in
advance. Eager to go, our three small children
were excited to start their Lego themed summer
camp. We landed in Tel Aviv in steamy mid July,
just when the current violence started. As a
Dutch-Israeli family from Amsterdam that travels
frequently to Israel we are used to being teased
in calmer times about why, for our own sanity,
we do not choose a real holiday destination
instead of a conflict zone. Friends and
relatives in the Netherlands are now worried.
They inquire politely as to our safety and
wellbeing. On facebook they see our shared
images of dead and wounded children in Gaza, war
horrors, anti-war demonstrations, international
condemnations, outraged op-eds and petitions
calling for immediate ceasefire. Pictures from
home of smiling blond kids in green parks and
sunny beaches are flickering in glaring contrast
to the barrage of depressing feeds from our
'vacation.'<br

Our family here knows we are appalled by the war
and condemn the atrocities in Gaza but there is
no point talking about it with them. As Israeli
and Dutch citizens who want to see an end to the
occupation our politics combined with the fact
that we don't live in Israel makes us outsiders,
if not outright 'traitors.' We are naive if
we don't see that hitting Gaza hard is
necessary in response to the existential threat
of Hamas. The weight of the overwhelming support
for the war descends upon us daily, heavy and
inescapable like the 90% humidity in the air. In
Kindergartens, Pilates studios, hairdressers,
office building signs are posted as people
collect goodies for packages to send to our
soldiers in the front. Soldiers are on
everyone's mind since the first smiley
profiles of dead young man appeared in the news.
At night many Tel Aviv restaurants and bars are
empty or closed. Summer events and music
concerts are cancelled so our sister and
sister-in-law doda (aunt) miki the producer has
plenty of time to spoil our children. This is
war.<br

of the many ironies of this 'war vacation'
is that the war and the vacation do coincide.
Unlike many Israelis we are privileged to be
able to take off for several weeks each summer.
We got lucky with a house swap and stay at the
very heart of Tel Aviv, complete with its
Bauhaus glory and shady broad boulevards. So we
take the kids on evening strolls on Rothschild
Boulevard; hang out at Habima square, go to the
beach and the pool, occasionally dine out. Our
war amounts to spending a few minutes in a
friendly meet and greet in the staircase of the
apartment building if we happen to be home with
the children when the siren is on. At night we
do not disturb the kids' sleep and skip the
neighborly meet and greet, like last night when
the siren went off. It took us few rather
disorienting days here to slowly come to the
conclusion that the palpable collective fear is
disproportionate to the actual threat.<br

Government propaganda, lies and deceptions to
galvanize support for the war is relentless and
the Iron Dome system, the system that intercepts
Hamas rockets, is just part of it. An expert
opinion according to which the Israeli
population is almost 100% safe even without it
because of the inferiority of Hamas' weapons and
the abundance of shelter infrastructure seemed
credible. Deep inside, we believe, everyone
knows that the chance something will happen to
you here is statistically negligible. It can
happen, like the chance of dying in a shocking
aviation disaster as what happened this summer
to hundreds of Dutch citizens, but it is very
unlikely.<br

One commentator rightly said that Iron Dome
functions as the Deus-ex-Machina of this war.
Everyone but us is convinced it saves lives. We
see it more as a psychological warfare device.
Curiously, much of the explosion sound that gets
people so worked up here is largely produced by
the Iron Dome system itself. What is striking if
not outright suspicious is that there is hardly
any information in the aftermath of
interceptions; we know nothing about it and
nobody cares. The threat of warheads in any case
gradually subsides as we write giving way to
fear from terrorist infiltration from the Gaza
tunnels. This shift happened within days from
the ground invasion, which marked a notable
decrease in the number of Iron Dome alarms.<br

How come everyone, even in our leftie circles,
is so psychologically affected by this war? Why
are they so afraid? earlier rounds - the second
Intifada with buses and markets exploding - were
much more terrifying. Of course far too many are
first and foremost afraid for the lives of their
loved ones, soldiers and reservists in Gaza. In
my family a distant relative was wounded; the
brother of a friend is "inside"; The ex of a
friend, who I know way back from our military
service during the first Intifada, was drafted.
With more than forty soldiers dead, it appears
that the imaginary threshold of a war too costly
to wage has not been crossed.<br

As we write this, carnage in Gaza and the death
of scores of soldiers is authorized to continue.
Why? The Israeli narcissism that concerns itself
only with IDF casualties while hundreds of
bodies pile up in Gaza is nothing new. The logic
of war normality we experience here in Tel Aviv
just confirms it. The soldiers die so that we
can live 'normally.' Violence is inevitable
because Israel is under attack. One has to be
here to understand fully that the legitimacy of
this war is not just manufactured top down by
the Israeli government. It is a genuine and
widespread social reality. Everyone, even those
few hundreds opposing the war, us included, take
part daily in its production. Take for instance
the dynamic of normal routine interrupted
regularly by sirens. In no time, these
interruptions themselves became a normal
routine. We all got used to the pending
emergency situation. We are all on an
emergency-normality switch mode. People stop
cars in the middle of the road to seek shelter
in nearby buildings only to go back behind the
wheel and honk impatiently at the other drivers
as if nothing happened; In cafes people
nervously react to suspicious sounds, jump from
their seats to the sound of sirens, and return
seconds later to their relaxed posture sipping
their espressos and so on.<br

Many Israelis, including very young children,
incessantly consume updates on strikes and
interceptions through the 'red color' app.
The app with the red icon on their smartphones
is decorated with a sound radiation sign
resembling the nuclear danger logo. Authorities,
institutions, employers, all heighten security
procedures, producing signs, road signs and
flyers with instructions on buildings 'safe
spaces'. Municipalities put on giant
billboards with patriotic slogans, one more
offensively patriotic than the other. We
received a leaflet to parents from the kids'
summer camp advising us on how to maintain
'emotional safe spaces' for our children. On
TV mainly men talk: brain-dead, repetitive,
militaristic tactic-talk. The blogger Idan
Landau once aptly called this tsunami of public
appearances at times of war zman hagvarim - "the
time of men." At the same time, the witch hunt
of dissenters has reached epidemic proportions,
targeting many, and women especially, who dare
speak their minds against the war. Orna Banai,
Gila Almagor, Shira Gefen are famous celebrities
who were vilified for speaking out; a
Palestinian psychologist working for the Lod
municipality and many like her got fired for
what they posted on facebook.<br

The Open House LGBT organization in Jerusalem
came under attack after Elinor Sidi, its
director, took a stance against the war. In
academia, university presidents published
statements warning that they monitor staff and
students expressions on social media and will
resort to sanctions if they express 'too
extreme' opinions. This blunt assault is what
happens publicly. In private, we know from our
friends, many who are politically colored as
unpatriotic or anti-Zionist pay a great personal
price. Candidates for jobs are asked to write
letters renouncing their political opinions.
University presidents intervene personally to
block 'controversial' appointments. Ron
Shoval, former leader of Im Tirtzu organizations
called to put to use the boycott law, from its
sinful inception no more than a dead letter law,
to preemptively prosecute and jail human rights
defenders. The idea is to prevent human rights
organizations from reporting to an international
investigation like the Goldstone commission
after operation Cast Lead. This witch hunt did
not begin yesterday, but the war made things
much worse. We encounter both this white fascism
running through the main echelons of Israeli
society, and the street fascism, those small but
well organized gangs of the extreme right who
mobilize to beat and intimidate anti-war
protestors when they take to the street. In the
cultural war raging here it is the Mizrahi face
of the extreme right chanting 'death to
Arab' on the street that grabs all the
attention. Haaretz is covering this Mizrahi
extreme right extensively. Indeed, it is
perceived by lefties especially as menacing, as
the 'sewage' flooding civilized Israel. But,
the white fascism of university presidents or Im
Tirtzu is far worse, far more dangerous. One Ron
Shoval is more effective in crushing dissent
than a thousand street gangs. Those are the
people who really hold the key to a complete
breakdown of the façade of Israeli democracy.<br

We attempted to describe the regime of
manufactured fear and psychological support for
the war, penetrating all aspects of life in all
directions. For the vast majority of the country
this fear is disproportionate to the actual
threat. We described also a climate of threat of
violence and violence directed against any form
of dissent. In an atmosphere of pending
emergency dissent is forbidden and any
government action addressing the collective
paranoia from the threat of Hamas is seen in a
positive light. Needless to say, the government
does nothing to curb the climate of violence
against dissenters. Instead it incites it with
reckless disregard to its potentially disastrous
consequences. We do not fear to go and
demonstrate, we are still able to do that with
reasonable safety, but staying safe on the
street is a slightly more complicated task than
calculating where the nearest building entrance
is in case of a siren alarm. This regime of
collective fear and collective mobilization in
support of the war is so intense, that our
'war vacation' is starting to feel like we
took the wrong flight and landed in North Korea.<br

'They are all animals' a tattooed man in his
30s muttered in our direction as we just got up
to pay for our coffee. "Are you sure ALL of them
are?" one of us replied later contemplating the
stupidity of a casual response that could have
easily provoked violence. Hamas is seen as a
mortal, inhuman enemy, which must be crushed,
decimated. In line with Prime Minister Netanyahu
it is for many heir to Amalek in ancient times
and Hitler. This is no apology but Israelis have
been traumatized by the savage campaigns of
suicide bombings of Hamas beginning in the
1990s, and so it is psychologically impossible
for many to acknowledge that however criminal
the actions of military resistance to the
occupation sometimes are, in fact as soon as
Hamas took power over Gaza in 2006 it became an
intimate strategic partner of the militant
Israeli government. Mash'al and Bibi are caught
like lovers on an airplane about to crash in a
deadly embrace for their own survival. Although
the IDF now deals Hamas a military blow, the
government is in fact desperate to keep the
organization somehow alive. Military sources
said from the outset of the operation that the
purpose of the invasion this time is<i
style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"> not</i> to
'break Hamas.' Hamas' demands for a
ceasefire in turn reflect just how addicted it
became to the crumbs falling from the Israeli
government table. The script for a ceasefire was
already written before the ground invasion
began. It is a matter of ending the bloody
spectacle with a mere semblance of two sides
mutually bettering their positions. The tragedy
of course is that so many stand-ins and movie
extras must die so spectacularly in vain for the
status quo of occupation-resistance to continue.
It may sound crazy, given all that we have said
so far about Israel in the grip of fascism, but
right to left people understand perfectly well
the futility of the bloodshed. They already talk
about the next round as inevitable. Depressed
and helpless to stop it many express confusion
and are simply torn between their instinct of
victimization and sense of horror at the high
price in human life. What is entirely lost or
powerfully sublimated is the consequence of
being implicated in and authorizing crimes
against humanity. Israelis consider the war of
position between Hamas and their government to
be an existential war, and the conduct of their
enemy, they feel, absolves them from any
accountability. In their battle of survival,
real and imaginary, it only makes sense to let
the enemy die and verify the killing (vidu
hariga). In this savage place no laws of war
apply.<br

Our children's renewed Israeli passports arrived
just before the ground invasion. Staring at
their pictures, Israeli IDs and passport
numbers, the thought crossed our minds - why
can't they be spared this terrible burden? Why
should they carry an identity associated with
cruelty, horrors, war, occupation, apartheid,
crimes against humanity? They are Dutch kids
after all, fluent in Hebrew but with a thick
Amsterdam accent. Why can't they just sleep in
their beds safely without their parents
agonizing about children killed in their name?
We should go home to Amsterdam or join our
relatives vacationing in la Palma, a Canary
island. This war vacation and the summer
disaster in the Netherlands made us aware of our
fragility, temporariness, and inability to
control what is happening in our environment. It
also sharpened our differences. At times like
these mom is better off here in this
normal-savage place where she is from, and where
she directly partakes in efforts to stop the
war. For dad it is crazy to be here, where he is
surrounded by supporters of war crimes, who seem
superficially normal and go about their normal
lives. The kids, they just soak up the sun and
enjoy themselves tremendously, their family and
friends keep them happy. Their happiness and
safety is comforting, but what would we say when
they start asking us: mom, dad, what is war, who
is doing it, and why can't you stop it?<br
