Rotem, 28, is a master's student in archeology and a manager of ranger groups. Before the war, he would drum at demonstrations against the occupation, but because of the fear of violence and the radicalization of the discourse, he has not participated in any protests in recent months. "I am more afraid than ever that my young nephews will have to enlist in the army, and that soon someone close to me will die. I am afraid for the mental health of my friends who are in the army. I fear for my personal safety due to the feeling that any person, Jewish or Palestinian, could see me as a threat, and any encounter could lead to harm."
