An award-winning journalist explores the culture of denial in
Israeli and Palestinian societies–and its lethal
consequences.
Walled examines the contemporary state of mind of Israel’s
citizens, tracing the history of the State of Israel back to the
Jewish national movement and the beginnings of Zionism. Sylvain
Cypel offers a lucid analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian situation
and powerfully demonstrates that the wall of protection erected in
the West Bank by Israel is the most visible symptom of a society in
peril.
Those who are walled, Cypel argues, are first and foremost the
Israelis themselves, who have chosen to ignore rather than
acknowledge the existence and rights of their neighbors. Through
the study of political discourse, intellectual controversy, and
national institutions such as the army and the educational system,
Cypel illuminates the mechanics of the culture of force that has
led Israeli society into its current impasse. Walled combines
historical, cultural, and sociological analysis with personal
testimonies and a delightful Jewish wit, offering a cogent and
gripping portrait of two peoples walled by denial: Israeli society
and its “other,” the Palestinians.
