Breaking the Silence

This May, I traveled with nine other U.S. faculty members to East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Part of a region where every millimeter comprises contested space, this land, together with Gaza, is referred to by the United Nations and other international bodies as the Occupied Palestinian Territories, or oPt - Palestinian land under Israeli Occupation. Over the course of our eleven days in the oPt, we met with students and faculty members from five different Palestinian universities, toured towns and refugee camps in the West Bank, visited various organizations, and attended cultural events. On our last morning, Ben Gurion Airport and its "security" system on our minds, our talk over breakfast turned to the impact of the Israeli Occupation on the ability to travel inside and outside of borders that are ever-expanding for Israelis, and constricting for Palestinians.

The Holocaust memorials that follow are only part of the story.  What Arendt feared is that the Holocaust – and Israel – would shut down Jewish thinking.  Instead of being rebellious and insightful thinkers seeking justice in the world, Jews would become servants of empire.  As servants of empire, Jews would become dependent on empire.  Instead of being refugees like Arendt, Jews would help create refugee populations.
