Truth Has a Way of Emerging in Unexpected Places

 “This significant work charts the ways in which New Israeli Horror films offer a critique of the violence that lies at the heart of Israeli society, the damaging masculinity of the military machine, and the suppression of Palestinian trauma. The result is a hugely readable and subtly nuanced work that makes a substantive contribution to our understanding of both modern Israel and the horror genre’s ability to articulate national trauma. It’s essential reading for all with an interest in the genre and in national cinema more broadly.” 
—Linnie Blake, Manchester Metropolitan University and author of The Wounds of Nations: Horror Cinema, Historical Trauma and National Identity.

The Israelis are the New Romans. Hamas may be thought of as the eruption of a New Bar Kokhba. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.
