Reflections on War and Identity

The struggle of identity amidst the chaos of war is highlighted through Edgar Carrot's personal experiences. He grapples with the idea that the current conflict has shifted his perception of what constitutes an existential threat to Israel, especially under the leadership of the Netanyahu government. Carrot reflects on Israel's historical challenges and how past wars seemed less threatening compared to the current situation, marked by attacks from both Hamas and Hezbollah. He articulates a deep-seated fear not just of physical violence, but of living in a society that he sees as increasingly unjust and discriminatory.
