Routine Emergency The Meaning of Life for Israelis Living Along the Gaza Border 2022 Original pdf

“…this book provides a richly textured canvas on the complex negotiations of people caught between security needs and justice values, including their love for and criticism of their country.”

—Björn Krondorfer, Regents’ Professor, Director of the Martin-Springer Institute, Northern Arizona University.

“… this work… brings us up close … to the pain of division, trauma of war, loss of hopes, dreams and aspirations of a future for all our children and grandchildren… hear the human voices, picture the faces and take a step … deep into their lives, it could just change your life…”

—Rev. Dr. Gary Mason, MBE, BA, Dip.Th, D.D. Phd.This book explores the meaning of life for Israelis living near the Gaza Strip, a region bound to the intractable conflict between Israel and the Hamas. Based on a psychosocial study of narrative interviews, photographs, YouTube videos, and Facebook posts created by residents, the book presents and analyzes the voices of ordinary people, and their perspectives of patriotism, Zionism, and the Gazan Palestinians. The results offer multi-layered and diverse analyses of life in this area, which alternates between being Heaven and Hell. Routine Emergency offers theoretical insights into societal beliefs connected to living in a warzone on the personal, family, community and national levels.
