This article analyses the series Fauda, which portrays the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one of the longest-running conflicts in international politics and the subject of numerous initiatives by the international community. The paper also focuses on series’ narrative based on the conflict’s political dynamics. The main aim of the study is to analyze uses with metonymic abstraction, Israel’s security-oriented strategy narrative and its attempt to legitimize its claim to sovereignty over Palestinian territories and to seek an answer to the question of why Palestinian side is transformed into the passive and trouble-making party. In this context, Fauda is a field of expression where social struggles are reproduced, and the discourse of sovereignty is appropriated in favor of Israel. The innocence defined in Holocaust films evolves into a prevented chaos in Fauda. While humanism is a quality that purifies human being from violence, in Fauda, it is necessary to secure humanist violence.
