For a brief moment, however, the apocalyptic spectacle eclipsed the grittier on-the-ground reportage and the horrific lynching attempts that were taking place inside Palestinian-Jewish cities on live television, amplified by “civil war” rhetoric used as camouflage for Israel’s ongoing colonial policies. For a moment, “everyone” stopped (metaphorically, of course) to marvel at two forces of “nature” before their collision, at this state of suspended potential. For a moment, rocket fallout statistics and casualty reports were set aside in the face of these drawings in light that seemed to burst from the ground and appear in the sky like the forces of Armageddon.
