Operation Cast Lead ensued as a mechanism to decide the fate and resolution of this question. The author was conflicted as her tendency to humiliate herself in her fantasies interfered with how she interpreted the story and how she responded to it while Operation Cast Lead unfolded, a war that took place between Hamas and IDF at the climax of the story of Sonny and Kate.
What was the truth of this connection? Why has Gaza been held hostage to this story ever since? What’s the way forward for Israelis and Palestinians? What’s the way forward for humanity?
The book argues that Operation Cast Lead was a design, and attempts to place the case within the current framework of international law while acknowledging that there are fundamental flaws in this framework and that there should be transformation at the foundation of international law for humanity to have a breakthrough and realize true freedom.
This book reveals a secret about history. A secret that would explain why the conflict in the Middle East has not met its resolution. As well as the conflict at the core of humanity.
What was your main drive to write this book?
The book is about an experience I had with a romance story
on General Hospital. Since a very young age, I had humiliating fantasies about
myself. Imagining myself in situations that undermined my dignity as a human
being. The story on General Hospital began in 2007 and, at that time, it was a
healthy tale for me. Not only that, it was a source of hope for me in life
because of what it offered. It offered the idea of finding love and a chance to
redeem what was once forgotten or given up. When the story became depressing
early in 2008, I plunged into depression as well.
In late 2008, however, the way I related to the tale
became dark and unhealthy. My old tendencies of humiliation and degrading
fantasies resurfaced, and I began to channel out those thoughts on the female
character. What reinforced this was that there was a context in the story
suggesting that the female character could have been humiliated on TV.
A war then ensued, in late 2008. A war codenamed
“Operation Cast Lead”. It is my belief that the war and the story were
connected and that history has been held hostage to the legacy of Cast Lead.
In 2022-2023, I wrote a memoir confessing to my thoughts,
words, and choices during that time period hoping humanity could move forward
but this didn’t emerge as war broke out again in October of 2023. Hence, I
wrote the second book: Operation Cast Lead – The Case.
The motivation for writing this second book was that of
responsibility and of the realization that truth and words alone would not move
history forward towards freedom. In that moment, I realized the importance of
accountability.
The book recounts the tale and its connection to the war,
and it also analyzes the Case within the framework of international law.
Realizing that the system is flawed and that the question of Palestine has
turned into an “exception”.
The book is a call for accountability. I found myself
responsible in this journey because of the effect my involvement had on the
unfolding of history.
What do you hope readers will learn by reading this book?
The main responsibility of a human being is to ask
questions. The book puts forward a series of questions about the story and its
connection to Operation Cast Lead. The book puts forward a critique of the
international legal system regarding war crimes and crimes against humanity. What
I hope the reader will take away, is the realization that asking these
questions matter if we are to realize true freedom. My hope is that humanity
will ask these questions. It is our responsibility to ask.
It has been my experience that crisis emerges when the
truth is about to be revealed. By asking questions, the path will unfold to
uncover the system behind this “phenomenon”.
Did you do much research when planning this book?
Research was undertaken for the legal analysis part of the
book. Its main pursuit was to understand who has jurisdiction to hear,
investigate, and prosecute the Case. There may be avenues for that to take
place, but I discovered, while researching, that there are fundamental flaws in
the current international framework for a case like Cast Lead. It is not known
if there was a precedent for this in recent history and that’s where the
research revealed that the current international legal framework should be revisited.
Did you have any main people who helped you in the process
of this book or influenced you to write it?
I always thank the universe for the insights I was trusted
with and I feel a sense of responsibility to those insights. This includes
everyone I encountered throughout the writing of this book, who contributed to
it in any way.
How long did this book take you to write from initial
thought to hitting publish?
I think I began writing the book in November of 2024 and
the book was published in August of 2025.
Do you have plans to write more about this topic or new
topics?
I’m currently writing poetry and I hope to publish a new
book later this year.
