Kafka - Jackals and Arabs

I revisited this story recently and it really does hit differently with current events. the story was published in 1917, but it portrays the relashionship between the US, israel, and the islamic world in a way that hits home, with a classic surreal and accutely uncomfortable tone and imagery, disturbing even, that Kafka does so well, and which suits the increasing ominousness of the subject matter more and more as time goes on

if youve never read this short story, i would highly reccomend it and say that of all the times, now is the time for it. its pretty short, only a handful of pages, andis easy to find online, and its oh so pertinent as the war and atrocities of our time spiral and escalate
