Nous sommes le 20 avril 1954, le jeune homme qui se dissimule dans l’obscurité est animé des pires intentions. Il est 23 heures, et c’est l’Heure H de mon histoire.

C’est un regard drolatique, dramatique, absurde, épique et ethnologique, mais certainement pas académique, que je jette sur la femme, thème central de mon recueil.

In this rigorous yet accessible essay, Bichara KHADER retraces the genesis of the Palestinian tragedy from 1897 to 2025. This is not just another history of Palestine, but a new way of looking at it—one that highlights the structural asymmetry between Israelis and Palestinians and explores the “domino effect” of the Palestinian tragedy on the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Europe.

In the perpetuation of this tragedy, the West bears a heavy historical responsibility. The United States’ unconditional support for Israel, coupled with the European Union’s diplomacy of indifference and empty declarations, have allowed the Israeli occupation to persist, the creeping colonization of the West Bank to expand, the destruction of Gaza to continue, and Israel itself to slide into religious and supremacist extremism. In this sense, the Palestinian question exposes our moral failure.
