When Ariel Sharon withdrew more than eight thousand Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip in 2005, his principal aim was to consolidate Israel’s colonisation of the West Bank, where the settler population immediately began to increase. But ‘disengagement’ had another purpose: to enable Israel’s air force to bomb Gaza at will, something they could not do when Israeli settlers lived there. The Palestinians of the West Bank have been, it seems, gruesomely lucky.

I first read this Pulitzer Prize winner in my early twenties, and it blew my mind, almost literally: I was in a bar in post-revolutionary Prague describing to a friend the book’s central idea – that human character, and the culture it lives in, are both effectively an illusionary construct that we build around ourselves as a means of denying that we are all doomed to vanish.

En Palestine, le communisme a été fondé en 1919 par des immigrés juifs, qui avaient quitté le mouvement sioniste pour créer le Parti ouvrier socialiste hébreu. Celui-ci prit, en 1922, l’appellation yiddish de Palestinishe Kommunistishe Partei (Parti communiste palestinien, PCP). Le PCP a adhéré à la IIIe Internationale (Komintern), dirigée par le Parti communiste soviétique. Durant toute son existence, ce parti a récusé le sionisme, qu’il considérait comme un mouvement colonialiste illégitime.

Lorsque, en une grande envolée, on qualifie des humains de « bêtes sauvages », une partie d’entre-eux le deviennent effectivement. Lorsqu’en réaction aux atrocités perpétrées contre nous, nous n’hésitons pas à commettre des atrocités encore plus nombreuses, moraux que ceux qui nous ont attaqués.
