Exporting Israel’s settler-colonial narrative by exploiting children
Ramona Wadi- Without context, it is easy to dissect slivers of reality and construct a narrative that glosses over genocide.
As Palestinians marked a year since the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza on 7 October, Israel’s settler-colonial society marked the occasion in selective oblivion. One example is a children’s book published by Yediot Books titled The Heroes of October 7th: Heroic Stories for Children, which the Times of Israel described as the first children’s book published in English by the publisher. Exporting Israel’s settler-colonial security narrative to the West through children’s literature couldn’t have been easier, and more hypocritical.
