Lux Alptraum The defeat of Killmonger in Black Panther holds lessons for Israel

There is a moment towards the end of "Black Panther" when Erik Killmonger, an orphaned Oakland native who’s honed his fighting skills through several tours in the U.S. military, unveils his vision for the future. “The world’s going to start over,” he tells the Wakandans as he prepares to deliver superweapons to black people around the world in an attempt to set off a violent revolution against the world’s white oppressors. “And this time, we’re on top.”
"Black Panther" is, first and foremost, a film about black experience and black identity that wrestles with the question of what a hyper-advanced, wealthy African nation might owe to the victims of colonialism and the African diaspora. But it is also a film that asks what it means to heal a wound, particularly when that wound is the result of a grievous trauma that spans generations. The solution Killmonger envisions — one in which justice is meted out by placing the once-oppressed in a position of privilege and dominance — holds an obvious appeal for anyone who’s suffered the pain of marginalization and violent oppression. But it’s a solution that, history shows us, all too often comes at a perilous cost.
