How far would you go to stop the attacks?

Using Szold's copious letters, diaries, and essays, along with other archival documents, Francine Klagsbrun traces Szold's life and legacy with an eye to uncovering the person behind the Zionist icon. She reveals Szold as a complex human being who had to cope with controversy and criticism, a workaholic with an outsized sense of duty, and an idealist who fought for her beliefs even as she questioned her own abilities. With deep insight, Klagsbrun introduces listeners to this extraordinary woman, whose impact on women's lives as well as on education and health systems still resonates.

Angels in the Sky is the gripping story of how an all-volunteer air force helped defeat five Arab nations and protect the fledgling Jewish state. It is the exhilarating account of a ragtag band of volunteer airmen from around the world who fought for Israel during the war of independence. They arrived from America, Canada, Britain, France, and South Africa. Almost all were World War II combat veterans. Many, but not all, were Jewish, and many knowingly violated their nations' embargoes on the shipment of arms and aircraft to Israel.

The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is technically 69 years old and counting, but it has its roots in over 2,000 years of history. Over time, it has become exceedingly difficult for even sophisticated political pundits and followers to keep track of it all. In 1947, the British delegated the issue of partitioning the British Mandate to the United Nations. The UN General Assembly eventually came up with what is now known as the UN Partition Plan of 1947.

Rooted in archival evidence and an abundant secondary literature, Architects of Repression shows how AIPAC and other Israel affinity groups deploy propaganda, target campaign contributions, organize demonstrations, and exert political pressure to manage public opinion - and, especially, to influence the Congress.

As a teenager in Palestine, Sami al Jundi had one ambition: overthrowing Israeli occupation. With two friends, he began to build a bomb to use against the police. But when it exploded prematurely, killing one of his friends, al Jundi was caught and sentenced to 10 years in prison. It was in an Israeli jail that his unlikely transformation began. Al Jundi was welcomed into a highly organized, democratic community of political prisoners who required that members of their cell read, engage in political discourse on topics ranging from global revolutions to the precepts of nonviolent protest and revolution.

In 1187 Saladin's armies besieged the holy city of Jerusalem. He had previously annihilated Jerusalem's army at the battle of Hattin, and behind the city's high walls a last-ditch defence was being led by an unlikely trio - including Sibylla, Queen of Jerusalem. They could not resist Saladin, but, if they were lucky, they could negotiate terms that would save the lives of the city's inhabitants.

Born in Battle, Blood, and Fire. Israel has reveled in terrorising its neighbours. 75 years of conflict and bloodshed and it has never in all that time forsaken its kin:-War and Terror. Within hours of the launch of the Al Aqsa Flood, the Israeli propaganda machine -the Hasbara - sprung into action. Its purpose; churn out lies to justify the unjustifiable - the bombing of hospitals, homes, and schools.

As the morning sunlight crept over the limestone walls of Jerusalem's old city, two young Americans flagged down a bus and got on. It was 6:45 a.m., February 25, 1996, and Sara Duker and Matthew Eisenfeld settled into their seats as the door closed on Jerusalem's Number 18 bus which would take them across the spine of this ancient city. After a few more stops, their bus turned on Jerusalem's Jaffa Road and rolled up a slight hill and stopped again. A young man, who seemed to be a student and was carrying a black duffle bag, got on. No one paid much attention to him, witnesses said later.

Menachem Begin: Portrait of a Leader – A Biography is the first complete biography of Menachem Begin, the man who always thought and spoke in terms of "we" rather than "I", the man who thought of himself as a simple Jew and accompanied the Jewish People on its path from the Holocaust to rebirth as a sovereign nation. This book reminds us that in the Second Lebanon War we learned nothing from the first one. In both we eagerly entered into battle without a clear picture of our final goal and what exactly we wished to achieve. Most significantly, the extensive evidence examined here ...

Suppose one day, your son or husband, while serving in the military or working as a journalist, is taken hostage by a terrorist group - and you have no idea whether your loved one is dead or alive. It’s a nightmare scenario.

"شاع فى الخطاب التحليليى العربى أن الصهيونية تضرب بجذورها فى التوراة والتلمود والتقاليد الدينية والإثنية اليهودية. وأعتقد أن ثمة خللا تصنيفيًا أساسيًا هنا، فالصهيونية، كما نحاول أن نبين فى هذه الدراسة وغيرها من الدراسات، ذات جذور غربية ثم أضيفت لها ديباجات يهودية، فالبعد اليهودى فى معظم الأحيان بعد زخرفى تبريرى، أضيف من أجل مقدرته التعبوية.
