Something dangerous is happening within Israeli society, and it could have consequences for the entire region.
Since the beginning of the genocidal war in Gaza, Israeli society has consciously created a broad consensus around a violent discourse centred on revenge - one that encourages war not only against Palestinians, but across the region as a whole.

Research increasingly reveals the psychological and social costs of the war, amid the spread of violence into every sphere of Israeli society.
