After the events that took place in the world between the West and the East, especially between Muslims and Zionists, the image of me and another entered the texts of Arabic literature, and the writers reflected the image of me and another. The purpose of which is to preserve the identity of the Lebanese "me" against the Zionist "other". "I" here represents a Lebanese person who made a revolution to protect his homeland from the foreign "other". With this statement, the three main axes of this research are "me" and "other" and the relationship of enmity and antagonism between them. With descriptive and analytical approach, we aim to clarify the image of "me" compared to the image of "other" in these stories and the relationships between them. The most prominent axis in Ali Hajazi's stories is that the image of "self" is optimistic despite the defeats of the war. "Umm Muhammad" is a character who expresses an image of "self" that is optimistic and resistant. "Other" appears in the face of the killer and the occupier who allows killing. The Lebanese pessimist image is evident in the character of Abu Saad's neighbor in the story of the wedding and portrays the image of "himself" in the form of a new victorious image despite the destruction and damage. Hajazi, while establishing a dialectical relationship that collects the "self" in the "other" in these stories, ends these stories with the defeat of the Zionist "other".
