Episode Synopsis

In Halloween Without End: Netanyahu and the Ritual of Horror, the episode explores how fear and repetition have become the core of Netanyahu’s political order. Moving beyond consumerist images of Halloween, it examines the ritual of terror that structures modern power — where horror is not an exception but a governing principle. That is to say, the ghosts haunting Israel’s borders are not only the dead but also the unspoken truths of occupation and vengeance. The piece reflects on how the politics of fear turns into a form of the undead, where the living repeat the gestures of survival while the Real — the repressed, the traumatic — keeps returning, demanding recognition.
