In what has become a classic of Middle Eastern literature, Raja Shehadeh, in Palestinian Walks, wrote of his treks through the hills surrounding Ramallah over a period of three decades under Israel's military occupation. In Where the Line Is Drawn, Shehadeh explores how occupation has affected him personally, chronicling the various crossings that he undertook into Israel over a period of forty years to visit friends and family, to enjoy the sea, to argue before the Israeli courts, and to negotiate failed peace agreements.

The State of Israel was founded in conflict, and in the first ten years of its existence, it was involved in two major wars with its Arab neighbors. The First Arab-Israeli War began almost the moment that the new state was announced in May 1948. Although it barely had time to create armed forces, somehow Israel survived a simultaneous invasion by armies from four Arab states during that conflict. In 1956, Israel found itself at war again, this time fighting alongside Britain and France, who had launched an invasion of Egypt after fears that the Suez Canal might be closed.

Say the word Israel today and it sparks images of walls and rockets and a bloody conflict without end. Yet for decades the symbol of the Jewish State was the noble pioneer draining the swamps and making the deserts bloom: the legendary kibbutznik. So what ever happened to the pioneers' dream of founding a socialist utopia in the land called Palestine? Chasing Utopia: The Future of the Kibbutz in a Divided Israel draws listeners into the quest for answers to the defining political conflict of our era.

Miriam! What a fascinating person. What a joy it has been to unpack her life story. I do hope you find her as enthralling as I did. The previous book, Miriam Part I: Devoted Sister, told of a little girl who saved the life of her baby brother, Moses. We traced her girlhood years as she faced the horrors of belonging to a large and rapidly-growing nation of slaves, owned and ill-treated by the Pharaoh of Egypt. Despite their conditions her parents, Amram and Jochebed, managed to instill in their daughter a rich faith in the one true God, Yahweh. This book takes up Miriam's story at around ...

In all the command positions that he held, General Elazar Stern knew that the role of the Israel Defense Forces was not limited solely to achieving victory on the battlefield. Many of the tasks that he undertook in over three decades of service to his country required moral courage whether it was initiating conversion courses in the IDF, laying down a hard line against disobeying orders during the evacuation of Gush Katif, or taking a stand against draft dodgers and Stern was well aware that public courage has its price. In Struggling Over Israel's Soul, General Stern tells the story of his...

For more than a century, prayers for the liberation of Palestine have echoed across the Muslim world. Sermons, supplications, protests, and political movements have all assumed the same premise: that victory is inevitable and divinely guaranteed. Yet the prayers have not stopped—and neither has the defeat. What if the problem is not geopolitics, but theology? In Allah’s Judgment Upon Palestine, Dr. Micah Ben David Naziri confronts one of the most controversial questions in contemporary Islamic discourse: whether the prolonged political and military failure associated with the ...

L'histoire de la Palestine, berceau des trois monothéismes, remonte à celle de la Terre sainte mais c'est la création de l'État d'Israël en 1948 qui l'a mise pour longtemps sous les feux de l'actualité. Elias Sanbar, dans cette version mise à jour, y remet les événements récents dans la continuité d'une histoire – depuis le mandat britannique à partir de 1917 jusqu'aux suites des Accords d'Oslo en 1993, dont l'auteur fut l'un des négociateurs – que tant de commentaires ont souvent faussée ou étouffée. La Palestine, c'est l'histoire d'un pays que les Palestiniens ont emporté dans leur exil.

The complex and intransigent conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians has dominated the 20th century. While British support of Zionism facilitated the creation of the Jewish State, it is unclear whether a lack of British support would have prevented it. Nevertheless, following World War II, the British, deeply in debt, transferred world superpower status to the United States, which moved into Greece and Turkey and immediately recognized the Jewish state in 1948. Since then, the US influence has been beneficial towards Israel. Even so, in the 1990’s, the drive to broker a peace ...

Operation Protective Edge, launched in early July 2014, was the third major Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip in six years. It was also the most deadly. By the conclusion of hostilities some seven weeks later, 2,200 of Gaza's population had been killed, and more than 10,000 injured. In this book, journalist Mohammed Omer, a resident of Gaza who lived through the terror of those days with his wife and then three-month-old son, provides a first-hand account of life on-the-ground during Israel's assault.

These are not symbolic fantasies, but covenant warnings and promises spoken to Israel in exile.

This book tells how Israel was created after Jewish Zionist military attacks in 1948 drove 8,000,000 Palestinians (half of Palestine’s population) from their land. Zionists justified their actions by claiming that Jews were retaking their biblical homeland. Despite that claim, Israeli researchers have not been able to use DNA to define a Jew. British rule of Palestine preceded these atrocities. During that period, the British worked with Zionist colonists to crush Palestinian opposition to continuous Jewish immigration and the Palestinians' loss of land. Information is reported about U. S.
