The daring and the cautious : kairos in war times : case study on Israel-Gaza

Abstract

Ongoing blockade of Gaza has not always found much concern among many distant witnesses, who know very superficially the context of the opposition between Israel’s traditional technological and military superiority, and its neighbours in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. At least this was the case before the Black Saturday of the 7th October 2023. Since then, things changed, the State of Israel engaged in the architecture of destruction on the ground of a cautious reaction to the risks and damages, forces our attention to this region of the world. As poets always tried to make sense of the tragic of existence, we learn from the great myth of the Ragnarök, that peace might be found at a very high price with the strategic overcoming of great oppositions, as a political response outside ethics – Of course, this seems unacceptable, and it becomes urgent to defend what remains after opposing communities has lost so many precious lives, but conflicts are not only real conflicts they are also conflicts of images.
