'Amid the death and confusion in Israel, we can take some hope from Ireland'

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
It has been over a week since the Hamas attack on the south of Israel and I am still struggling to find words to describe what is happening
I am a historian, I live in Jerusalem: documenting and writing should be easy for me
But it is not; it&s hard to think coherently, try to make sense of it all
It feels almost irrelevant to write, as things said five minutes ago no longer apply.
