The notion of protection highlights contrasting realities: on one hand, Palestinians, deprived of security guarantees; on the other, Israelis, marked by the fear of a constant threat. These situations fuel tensions, particularly annexation, settlement expansion, and international recognition. Emmanuelle Morau underscores, through these issues, a broader inability to guarantee and acknowledge the fundamental rights of peoples-a failure illustrated by what the West refers to as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Her work raises an essential ethical question: that of our collective difficulty in recognizing all human beings as equal. It thus invites reflection on the possibilities of coexistence and sharing between peoples who stem from a common cultural and linguistic heritage. Audiobook, in French.
