In this paper, I try to articulate my psychoanalytic-political-emotional experience as an Israeli psychoanalyst working in England during this painful and challenging time. With a growing awareness of how difficult it is to hold an analytic space in the face of traumatic violence, I analyse the places in which dialogues collapse into a binary framework, both in my clinical encounters and in the discourse itself. Connecting Amir's concept of the Inner Witness, Benjamin's understanding of the Moral Third, and Butler's Compass of Mourning, I aim to explore vulnerabilities beyond the binary structure of doer and done-to, victim and aggressor. Recognising a repeated denial of pain and loss at the heart of our discourse, I argue for a political-psychoanalytic stance that can hold a more complex picture by agreeing to witness.
