but to quote something from a leftist friend of the author
It honestly felt like Bartov’s pointing out the very serious historical and material myopia that exists within Israel proper, outside of very specific and rare circles, that’s developed to such a severe degree that when blowback against the actions of their fascist state occured a la O7 that it completely disorientated them and shattered their fictional worldview.
Like it’s quite possible we’re able to get a glimpse into history of what was happening in fascist Germany with how inundated with propaganda their people were with observing the continued unraveling we’ve been given a glimpse into with the contemporary events occuring.
