A hundred and fifty years of conflict. What does that do to a person's soul, to the spirit of a nation? To both the occupied and the occupier? International Booker Prize winning Israeli novelist David Grossman has spent decades campaigning for peace in Israel and Palestine. But after October 7th 2023, a day marking the biggest loss of Jewish life in this century, he retreated inwards to ask himself difficult and necessary questions about his beloved nation: How could this massacre have happened? How could the Netanyahu government, tangled in its web of scandals, fail to protect its citizens? And did October 7 and the war that followed take with it their last hope of a two-state solution? In eleven essays David Grossman traces the years leading up to that day and the ensuing war through a string of failures by a morally bankrupt party clinging to power.
