      abstract = {This book explores the meaning of life for Israelis living  near the Gaza Strip, a region bound to the intractable  conflict between Israel and the Hamas. Based on a  psychosocial study of narrative interviews, photographs,  YouTube videos, and Facebook posts created by residents,  the book presents and analyzes the voices of ordinary  people, and their perspectives of patriotism, Zionism, and  the Gazan Palestinians. The results offer multi-layered and  diverse analyses of life in this area, which alternates  between being Heaven and Hell. Routine Emergency offers  theoretical insights into societal beliefs connected to  living in a warzone on the personal, family, community and  national levels.
