The tension was unbearable. Israel was in the midst of the “individual’s intifada,” a new kind of uprising that replaced the more familiar dangers with seemingly random stabbings and vehicle attacks. Suddenly, every person on the street was a potential threat, every car a potential weapon. Mundane activities—walking the kids to school, taking the bus to work—now seemed perilous. People wanted the government to protect them, and the government appeared helpless. Israel’s security minister advised citizens who owned a gun to carry it with them. Old ladies carried kitchen knives and rolling pins in their bags.
And each day the headline news provided a drumbeat to the growing collective fear: three stabbings in one day, or maybe a shooting just down the street, in a place you thought was safe.
That fall, we got a call from Guy Lavie, the commissioning editor of yesDocu, Israel’s documentary channel.
