LETS GOOO another based book about the golem and zionism . Me going to my boss and presenting him this quote be like:
“So these Israeli works evoke the vulnerability of the Zionist project and reveal the madness and instability that lurk beneath it. The darker side of the militarily “mighty Jewish state,” which can and has been compared to a golem that can potentially run amok, is the injured soldier who—for the length of the narrative at least—refuses to join the dead. The golem thus stands as a troubling remnant of the human losses and moral failures that resulted from the 1948 war” (143).
