Why Israel cannot tolerate Palestinian expressions of joy, anger and grief | Opinion by Gwyn Daniel

Gwyn Daniel, a psychotherapist, trainer and writer, explains that Israel’s attempt to quash displays of emotion in Palestine is deeply embedded in a racist and dehumanising worldview. Daniel discusses the Israeli diktat that, in the first exchanges of prisoners as part of the Gaza ceasefire, Palestinians welcoming back their loved ones must not demonstrate any public joy or celebration. She asks what does this attempted prohibition of public joy signify? Standing in stark contrast to the public outpouring of emotion that greeted the release of Israeli captives, Daniel argues that the "banning of joy" fits with a pattern of surveillance over not only the movements, activities and speech of Palestinians but also their emotions. Consequently, the images seen of Palestinians defying this command, celebrating the return of loved ones, signifies an insistence upon the right to life and the freedom to give voice to all human emotions - whether joy, sorrow, anger or pride.
