Download or read book Israelis Speak about Themselves and the Palestinians written by Larry L. Fabian. This book was released on 1977. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1976, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a private and non-profit American foundation, invited a group of leading Israelis to spend a week discussing Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, and the prospects for peace between them. Neither the Israeli government nor the American government had a hand in initiating the meeting, in shaping its agenda, or in selecting the participants. Israelis Speak, the product of this meeting, is a human document, as well as a discussion about politics, and it merits attention by all who care about the connection between peace in the Middle East and the deeply rooted issues dividing Israel and the Palestinians."--Cover page 4.

Book excerpt: The sequel to the acclaimed Gaza in Crisis from world-famous political analyst Noam Chomsky and Middle East historian Ilan Pappé. Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza, left thousands of Palestinians dead and cleared the way for another Israeli land grab. The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater. Ilan Pappé and Noam Chomsky, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss the road ahead for Palestinians and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against the people of Palestine. Praise for Gaza in Crisis by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé “This sober and unflinching analysis should be read and reckoned with by anyone concerned with practicable change in the long-suffering region.” —Publishers Weekly “Both authors perform fiercely accurate deconstructions of official rhetoric.” —The Guardian Praise for Noam Chomsky . . . “Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet.” —The New York Times Book Review “One of the radical heroes of our age . . . a towering intellect . . . powerful, always provocative.” —The Guardian . . . and Ilan Pappé “Ilan Pappé is Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.” —John Pilger, journalist, writer, and filmmaker “Along with the late Edward Said, Ilan Pappé is the most eloquent writer of Palestinian history.” —New Statesman

Book Synopsis Can We Talk About Israel? by : Daniel Sokatch

Download or read book Can We Talk About Israel? written by Daniel Sokatch. This book was released on 2021-10-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Jewish Book Award finalist An essential and accessible introduction to one of the most complex, controversial topics in the world, from a leading expert on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. When it comes to Israel and Palestine, it can be hard to know what to say. Daniel Sokatch gets it. He heads the New Israel Fund, an organization dedicated to equality and democracy for all Israelis--Arab, Jewish, and otherwise. The question he gets asked, on an almost daily basis, is, "Can't you just explain the Israel situation to me? In, like, 10 minutes or less?" This book is his timely and much-needed answer. Can We Talk About Israel? tells the story of that country and explores why so many people feel so strongly about it without actually understanding it very well at all. Sokatch grapples with a century-long struggle between two peoples that both perceive themselves as (and indeed are) victims. And he explains why Israel (and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) inspires such extreme feelings--why it seems like Israel is the answer to “what is wrong with the world” for half the people in it, and “what is right with the world” for the other half. As Sokatch asks, is there any other topic about which so many intelligent, educated, and sophisticated people express such strongly and passionately held convictions, and about which they actually know so little? Complete with engaging illustrations by Christopher Noxon, Can We Talk About Israel? is an easy-to-read yet penetrating and original look at a subject we could all afford to better understand.

Book Synopsis How I Learned to Speak Israel by : Alex McDonald

Download or read book How I Learned to Speak Israel written by Alex McDonald. This book was released on 2021-05-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States not only played a significant role in the creation of the state of Israel; we also play a significant role in shaping Israel today. How does our role align with our values? Addressing that question requires knowledge of the history and situation today. It also requires language skills to better understand the messaging we hear.A lot of what we're told about Israel doesn't make sense unless we learn a new language I call "Israel." In that language words such as security, equality, defensive, peace, rights, and illegal have different definitions than we're used to, and that's why I wrote this book. I got confused when I had been told that Israel is always on the defensive, yet learned that it controls territory that it seized from its neighbors. We're told that God gave the land to His people, yet Israel is a secular state. We're told that the Palestinians are terrorists, yet the US has supported them with aid for decades.How I Learned to Speak Israel shines a light on what we have not been told. It uncovers ? the unpublicized history kept from most Americans that clarifies today's situation ? real-life situations on the ground that provide context for the vocabulary ? an analysis of the messaging we hear and how it can be a house of cards that collapses under scrutinyLearning to speak Israel is a journey. It is a journey in time, in place, in beliefs, and in self-reflection. Welcome to How I Learned to Speak Israel.
