A hidden Israel reference in Game of Thrones?

Caution: spoilers ahead. Consider yourself warned.

Odds are that since Sunday night’s epic season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones, you’ve either seen the episode or someone’s already ruined it for you, so we feel an appropriate amount of time has passed for us to discuss the ending. Or shall we say, the beginning?

We’re talking, of course, about Daenerys Targaryen’s emotional return from exile to her ancestral home of Dragonstone, from where she will be setting up shop, presumably to open up a can of whoop ass all over Westeros with her brood of fire breathing dragons and army of Unsullied.

While the scene was chock full of symbolism — from the design of the Valryian throne to the abandoned table full of wartime figurines — one detail was particularly resonant for MOTs: Daenerys’s reaction when she first sets foot back in Dragonstone. With echoes of the kiss-the-ground moments that commonly play out when Jews deplane at Ben-Gurion Airport, the Stormborn emotionally sets foot on promised soil for the first time.

Not sure what we mean? See for yourself:

A barely noticeable four notes, the Fiddler on the Roof lilt in the music as Daenerys kneels down to place her palm on the sand could be a little wink to those in the know — the subconscious image of Jewish yearning for the homeland throughout the millennia.

It would make sense given that the show’s creators — David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are both Jewish.

And, it seems, George R.R. Martin does have the Israel-Palestine situation on his mind. According to this article, Martin’s 1988 book “Aces Abroad” features an alternate reality in which the 1967 Six Day War was started by a Palestinian attack that destroyed the Western Wall.

So, what do you think? Is this a “Jewish moment” or are we just crazy?
