Charlotte Baris: In the days following the Hamas attacks on October 7, an expression emerged to describe the importance of the event. An Israeli September 11th. Firstly by the scale of the human toll: 1,400 people killed by members of the terrorist group in a few hours. Isaac Herzog, the president of Israel, insists, “never have so many Jews been killed in a single day since the Holocaust.”
Then, by the effect produced on the whole country: after the shock and the emotion, an entire nation united against a common enemy.
Finally, by the response to this trauma. Now, many Israelis are demanding revenge, as was the case in 2001 in the United States. And as for the United States, the military response was not long in coming. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised that the full power of the army will be used to destroy Hamas…
A month later, the intervention began, will the rest resemble the American experience after September 11?
