Palestine History

David Grossman, da sempre convinto sostenitore di una coesistenza tra Israele e Palestina, non si è mai sottratto dal commentare e analizzare la complessa relazione tra i due popoli. Questo libro raccoglie alcuni degli interventi più urgenti e militanti, in cui Grossman analizza la parabola politica di Israele, guardando con occhio critico alle azioni del governo e della classe dirigente del suo Paese: un Paese che gli appare oggi più vulnerabile che mai, per colpa delle correnti estremiste e della decadenza di quei valori democratici che lo rendevano uno stato davvero ebraico.

Das Gebiet, in dem der heutige Staat Israel liegt, gilt als Wiege des Judentums. Die späteren abrahamitischen Religionen, das Christentum und der Islam, haben dort ihren historischen Ursprung. Seit 63 v. Chr. stand die Region 700 Jahre lang unter römischer Herrschaft. Auf die Römer folgten die Byzantiner, dann die Araber und Osmanen sowie schließlich die Briten. Die dort seit mehreren tausend Jahren ansässigen Juden wurden mehrfach vertrieben und verteilten sich weltweit in der sogenannten Diaspora.

A shocking act of terror brings the Middle East to the point of explosion. As the resulting political conflict threatens to erupt, a young Jewish American lawyer joins the defense team of an arrested but possibly innocent Palestinian. Soon the lawyer's father, a famed criminal attorney, must win the Palestinian's case or risk losing his daughter forever. To do so, he must take into account the tormented history of the Holy Land from every possible angle.

So begins the tale of a 5-year-old Jewish refugee arriving in the new State of Israel in 1949. As the author grows into a young pacifist, an aspiring musician, and a student of Arab culture, he often finds himself at odds with the macho and Zionist country he loves... and eventually leaves. Told alternately in poetry and prose, full of both laughter and heartbreak, Lost in the Dunes is a personal, refreshingly honest memoir of a boy - and a nation - coming of age.

The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the most enduring and contentious disputes in modern history, rooted in a complex web of historical, religious, and political factors. Dating back over a century, the conflict revolves around competing claims to territory, sovereignty, and identity between Israelis and Palestinians. From the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 to the ongoing occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the conflict has been marked by cycles of violence, negotiations, and failed peace efforts.

The Gaza Strip is one of the most controversial hotbeds of conflict in the 21st century, but wars are nothing new to this area of the world. This remains important in the modern world, because for many complex political, religious, and social reasons, the ancient history of the region plays a role in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Although borders changed, there has historically been a significant difference between the Mediterranean coast of Canaan and its hilly interior. This listen sheds light on just how far back history stretches around Gaza.

Jeune Juif persécuté à Paris sous l'occupation allemande, le héros de ce roman se retrouve en Israël après la Guerre des Six Jours, citoyen d'un pays devenu à son tour occupant de territoires arabes. David, que les souffrances de sa jeunesse ont profondément marqué, ne peut s'empêcher de réfléchir au destin d'un peuple condamné autrefois par sa faiblesse à endurer les humiliations et les tortures, condamné aujourd'hui par ses victoires à glisser vers le rôle de l'oppresseur, peut-être un jour du bourreau.

When conflicts become entrenched over generations, the language of war infiltrates everyday life, concealing destruction and hardening positions. Nowhere is this truer than in the Middle East. Award-winning author Raja Shehadeh explores the politics of language and the language of politics in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, reflecting on the walls that they create - legal and cultural - that confine today's Palestinians just like the borders, checkpoints and so-called "Separation Barrier".

Jean Amérys Essays, die zwischen 1969 und 1976 geschrieben wurden, erschrecken geradezu durch ihre Aktualität. Sie lesen sich in ihrer Prägnanz, als wären sie für den heutigen Tag geschrieben. Ausgehend von seinem Judesein, das ihm von den Nürnberger Gesetzen aufgezwungen wurde, beschreibt Jean Améry seine existentielle Bindung an Israel, seine Solidarität ist jedoch nicht bedingungslos. Und doch ist für ihn Israel das Land, das allen entrechteten Juden der Welt den aufrechten Gang gelehrt hat.

Una revisión tan clara como urgente a la historia y la actualidad del doloroso conflicto entre Palestina e Israel.

On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate officially expired. That same day, the Jewish National Council issued the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel. About 10 minutes later, President Truman officially recognized the State of Israel, and the Soviet Union also quickly recognized Israel. However, the Palestinians and the Arab League did not recognize the new state, and the very next day, armies from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq invaded the former British Mandate to squelch Israel, while Saudi Arabia assisted the Arab armies.

Because Israel has contributed so much to all of us, what was once just an Israelite culture has grown to become what is by and large an inherited world culture. As the scriptures promised to Abraham, "I will make your descendants countless as the dust of the earth; if anyone could count the dust upon the ground, then he could count your descendants." I believe that this scripture does hold true.

Along with analysis and anecdotes of important events and people, Israel and Her Enemies is the perfect starting point for understanding how the Middle East conflicts have gotten to where they are at today and what the future may hold.

Durante la Guerra de los Seis Días en 1967, las fuerzas israelíes atacaron repentinamente el Sinaí en respuesta a la violación por parte de Egipto de un tratado anterior que permitía el paso de barcos israelíes a través del importante Estrecho de Tirán. En una campaña relámpago, las fuerzas israelíes bien entrenadas y bien dirigidas, equipadas con vehículos y aviones americanos y franceses, destrozaron decisivamente a las fuerzas armadas egipcias de baja calidad. Cuando Jordania y Siria atacaron a Israel en apoyo de Egipto, los israelíes también aplastaron sus fuerzas.

The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is over 70 years old and counting but has its roots in over 2,000 years of history. With so much time and history, the Middle East peace process has become laden with unique, politically sensitive. Menachem Begin: The Life and Legacy of the Irgun Leader Who Became Israel’s Prime Minister looks at how Begin rose the ranks through militias and governments to become one of the Jewish State’s most consequential leaders.

Since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 by a United Nations mandate, the Middle East has been a flashpoint of conflict between the world's only Jewish state and the Palestinians, who lost their land because of the UN partition. This ready-reference volume explores the culture, geography, economy, and government of the state of Israel.

On September 5, 1972, eight Palestinian terrorists belonging to the Black September faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) entered the Olympic Village in Munich, West Germany, and took 11 Israeli athletes and team members hostage. After a lengthy standoff and a bungled rescue operation, all 11 were killed. While today, Israel is one of the most divisive political subjects across the world, the Munich Massacre and the Israeli operations in response all came about entirely because of the emotional power inherent in the Israeli-Arab conflict.
