Israelis are enmeshed in a confrontational cycle of fear and anger just a few short weeks after Benjamin Netanyahu prevailed at the polls, at the head of a nationalist-religious bloc which is still in the process of coalition formation. The victors in the recent elections triumphed on a wave of trepidation prompted by a reality of pervasive violence and perceived impossibility to govern. Their opponents, made up of the other half of the population, are equally afraid of the violence that the incoming government is already promoting through its personal composition and its declared policies. The thread uniting the vying sides is a common preoccupation with the widespread violence in various forms that has metastasized throughout the land.
