Nietzsche in Tel Aviv after Gaza
The article discusses the state of Israel following the escalation of violence and destruction in Gaza, focusing on philosophical and historical interpretations of the nature of the Israeli state and its collective consciousness. The writer links the death of its perceived legitimacy—based on memories of the Holocaust and collective memory—to the use of that memory as a justification for violence and violations. It highlights how Israeli discourse shifted after the October 2023 attack from language of acknowledgment and equality to language of power and supremacy, with politicians speaking openly about displacement and starvation. The article asserts that elevating Jewish identity as sacred is the reason behind reliance on violence and acts internationally recognized as genocide against Gaza. It also points out that the Israeli state and its practices reflect a Nietzschian embrace of strength and a rejection of morality, which could potentially lead to its end if this approach continues. Ultimately, it emphasizes that Israel's founding was not divinely ordained, that it has become a victim of its own making, and that its inevitable demise will come through the clash of aggressor forces with the rights of peoples.
