Around my name change associated with the Gaza massacre, I write about certain forms of attachment to soil and to blood, which Levinas once understood as a characterization of Hitlerian thought, and about the trees that employ their sap to spread roots in entanglements that expand beyond any kind of border. Thus, I write about a possible Judaism that would itself be the Schuldfrage, the very question concerning the resposibility for the massacre, in an unending repentance. Instead of a national or international perspective, what emerges is a disseminational perspective.
