Israel’s administrative detention recalls Franz Kafka’s dystopia in Palestine
In Franz Kafka’s famous novel “The Trial”, protagonist Josef K suddenly finds himself under arrest without a cause. K is a fictional character, but his experience mirrors the bitter, “Kafkaesque” reality many Palestinians face today, with Israel’s deliberately confounding administrative detention system recalling the dark dystopia imagined by the German writer a century ago. #Palestine #Israel #Kafkaesque
