the intention here was to have the politics come through via a wilfully ignorant narrator going about their daily life in Jerusalem, losing their keys, picking up their kids, trying to get work done etc.

faux-naive is probably my least favourite register, here it lends itself to framing the question of supporting the settlements in terms of a bourgeois anxiety re: ethical consumption but on the other hand it emphasises the moments in which settlers reveal themselves to be paranoid racist freaks, e.g. calling MSF and Obama Hamas supporters. the author is of course subject to the same accusations in the comment section here, as ever it underlines that any angle on the occupation which is even slightly clear-eyed will be condemned as anti-Semitic propaganda
