This response to Eyal Rozmarin’s thoughtful and timely essay about Israel-Palestine attempts to take the conversation to its foundation: how do we hold a psychoanalytic conversation about Israel-Palestine? This question betrays our heretofore failure as psychoanalysts to engage psychoanalytically with Israel-Palestine. Drawing on her lived history with Israel-Palestine and her experience as a psychoanalyst, the author explores the obstacles to such engagement, in particular the impingement on the freedom to know, to think and to speak about Israel-Palestine historically and at present. The author also explores the detrimental role of militarization on this freedom, and how a militarized state and a militant resistance create what she terms “a militant field,” which is antiethical, antipsychoanalytic and deadly.
