Golda Daphna describes a frightening "educational trip" to Area C in the West Bank that became a terror attack when her convoy entered an Arab village uninvited. After escaping a mob that threw boulders at their cars, her experience was immediately framed by competing political narratives, leaving her feeling unsupported. The incident prompts Daphna to reflect on how ideology can overshadow individual experiences, drawing parallels to past events in Israeli history.
