Ilan Pappe, author of A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples "This book is a fascinating journey through the Israeli Jewish psyche in its multiple manifestations.

Introduction



Into the Kur Hitukh


No particular place to go



A greater sense of security



Our real name should be Jews



Happy as a Jew in France



They teach them to hate us



Soldiers and Sabras


Sometimes you feel as if you are the lord of this country



The era of the wall and the tower



Defence of the motherland is absolute



Just a good soldier


From the depths I call out to you




Strangers in the Land of their Fathers


I am nothing and nothing that hurts me counts



The fear that someone will recognise me



I am the actor



No fear in Dimona



The sun had to reverse




Strange Orthodoxies and quantum Secularities


Like a switch had been clicked



There is a chain


Then we're the oldest



Everybody is the Messiah



The roots of faith



A big plate of scrambled eggs




Believers and Apostates


Suddenly I found myself alone



We have no counter-experiment



On the tombs of very old people, evil will be sad



The Pope may speak hebrew, but he will not be a Jew



Beside the honey, you have the sting




The Home Front


A fish can't live out of water



The person who doesn't really exist



A society needs this kind of valve



Amputees of the soul



Where is your guard?



My little Holocaust




The Forgiven and the Forgotten


You can't weigh pain



The soul is in the blood



Two graves



Part of the same flow



The meaning of time




Business as Usual


Meaning making



Don't trust anyone



Work enables life



The movement decided for us



She's in parties



This is a nation that wants a war




Across the Green Line


A foothold to hang on to



We have nuclear weapons to prevent another Holocaust



Intelligence is a dirty business



Waiting for a miracle


To love my Palestinian neighbours




Away from Zion


Something we lost along the way
