In Where Are You Going? a film about the Israeli journalist Amira Hass, Hass responds to a question about why she has chosen to live in Gaza and Ramallah in the past few years by telling a story about her mother, a Holocaust survivor. The mother described to Amira how she saw the European villagers watching the train taking her to a concentration camp with boredom and lack of interest. It was this knowing observation of the Other's tragedy that shocked Hass's mother and prompted Hass not to be an uninterested bystander, a knowing observer of the Palestinian tragedy. Hass here uses her identity as a second-generation to Holocaust survivor to demarcate herself with relation to Zionism, the Holocaust, and the Palestinian fight for independence. In effect, Hass here exemplifies an enactment of identity politics, a drawing from negotiation of personal and communal experience with hegemonic structures. This form of identity politics is used very effectively in Yosefa Loshitzky's excellent book Identity Politics on the Israeli Screen.
