- Title
Zero Sum Game With a Fatal Option.
- Authors
DAVIDSON, LAWRENCE
- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of a zero-sum game in Israeli national life, which is seen as a lasting legacy of the Holocaust. Israelis perceive survival as a win-or-lose situation, leading to a mindset of maintaining a winning profile and viewing negotiations with enemies as fraudulent. The article also explores the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Israel attempting to make Palestinians irrelevant and disposable. The Palestinians, in response to persistent oppression, strike back, leading to increased violence. The article raises concerns about the possibility of Israel considering the use of nuclear weapons in their pursuit of a zero-sum game.
