What does it mean to be Levantine enough? How can Levantine knowledge be acquired? Who presumes to consider a person worthless and by what standard? For Jacqueline Kahnaoff (1917-1979), a Levantine revolution was nothing less than the only chance for peace in a Middle East shaped by minorities. Instead of declaring the \u2013 social? political? semiotic? \u2013 Levantine revolution as a missed opportunity, I follow its recurring beginnings. My speaking position migrates between subjects and times \u2013 from the peace activist Yocheved Lifshitz to Mish Mish Effendi, the cartoon character of the Frenkel brothers, who use a propaganda film to denationalize the principle of \u201cnational defence\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eran Schaerf<\/strong> is an artist and author.
