The god of death in the back I think is what the author saw with his own eyes, confused why there is this war, and at the same time helpless while sympathetic. What touched me the most in the whole article was the Jewish parade, who could sympathize with anger, but the majority were silent. War is scary, so there must be a hope for survival, the power of words.
