The General's Son
A powerful account, by Israeli peace activist Miko Peled, of his transformation from a young man who'd grown up in the heart of Israel's elite and served proudly in its military into a fearless advocate of nonviolent struggle and equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis. His journey is mirrored in many ways the transformation his father, a much-decorated Israeli general, had undergone three decades earlier. Alice Walker contributed a foreword to the first edition in which she wrote, 'There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one.' In the new Epilogue he takes readers to South Africa, East Asia, several European countries, and the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel itself.

The Forgotten Palestinians
A vivid and incisive analysis of the complex relationship between Israel and its Palestinian citizens written by an acclaimed Israeli historian For decades, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have lived as Israeli citizens within the borders of the nation formed at the end of the 1948 conflict. Occupying a precarious middle ground between the Jewish citizens of Israel and the dispossessed Palestinians of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Palestinians have developed an exceedingly complex relationship with the land they call home; however, in the innumerable discussions of the Israel-Palestine problem, their experiences are often overlooked and forgotten. In this book, historian Ilan Pappé examines how Israeli Palestinians have fared under Jewish rule and what their lives tell us about both Israel’s attitude toward minorities and Palestinians’ attitudes toward the Jewish state. Drawing upon significant archival and interview material, Pappé analyzes the Israeli

Essential Israel
Most Americans are ill-prepared to engage thoughtfully in the increasingly serious debate about Israel, its place in the Middle East, and its relations with the United States. Essential Israel examines a wide variety of complex issues and current concerns in historical and contemporary contexts to provide readers with an intimate sense of the dynamic society and culture that is Israel today. The expert contributors to this volume address the Arab-Israeli conflict, the state of diplomatic efforts to bring about peace, Zionism and the impact of the Holocaust, the status of the Jewish state and Israeli democracy, foreign relations, immigration and Israeli identity, as well as literature, film, and the other arts. This unique and innovative volume provides solid grounding to understandings of Israel's history, politics, culture, and possibilities for the future.

Israel
'The most comprehensive account of Israeli history yet published.' -- The Sunday Telegraph 'An epic history . . . a picture of an Israel that persevered and prevailed, that was determined to survive and was unwilling to trust its independence to others but sought peace whenever possible.' -- Foreign Affairs Israel is a small and relatively young country, but since the day of its creation more than half a century ago, its turbulent history has placed it squarely at the center of the world stage. For two millennia the Jews, dispersed all over the world, prayed for a return to Zion. Until the nineteenth century, that dream seemed a fantasy, but then a secular Zionist movement was born and soon the initial trickle of Jewish immigrants to Palestine turned into a flood as Jews fled persecution in Europe. From these beginnings, preeminent historian Martin Gilbert traces the events and personalities that would lead to the sudden, dramatic declaration of Statehood in May 1948. From that point

Israels krig, Ljudbok
Staten Israel föddes in i krig. Sedan FN röstade fram en tvåstatslösning 1947 har det närmast konstant pågått konflikter mellan Israel och den palestinska befolkningen och arabiska grannländer. Redan dagen efter FN:s delningsförslag, beordrades alla judiska kvinnor och män mellan 17 och 25 år att anmäla sig till militär tjänstgöring. Det visade sig bara vara början på decennier av kamp mellan israeler och palestinier om det som båda grupper menar är deras land.I Israels krig ger militärhistorikern och författaren Marco Smedberg en initierad överblick över hur striderna mellan Israel och dess grannländer sett ut, från statens födelse till nutid. Marco Smedberg har under sitt yrkesliv gjort många resor till Israel, och hans bok erbjuder en mängd nya insikter.

Crisis of Zionism
'A deeply important book for anyone who cares about Israel.'--President Bill Clinton 'A probing, courageous, and timely book... Beinart offers a forceful exposition of American apprehensions about Israel's path.... Marks a significant evolution in the debate over Israel.'--Jacob Heilbrunn, The Atlantic In Israel, the deepening occupation of the West Bank is putting Israeli democracy at risk. And in the United States, the refusal of major Jewish organizations to defend democracy in the Jewish state is alienating many young liberal Jews from Zionism itself. In The Crisis of Zionism, Peter Beinart lays out in chilling detail the looming danger to Israeli democracy and the American Jewish establishment's refusal to confront it. And he renders a fascinating, groundbreaking portrait of the two leaders at the center of the crisis: Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu. Beinart offers provocative proposals for how the relationship between American Jews and Israel must change, and an eloquent
Mitä nainen haluaa, Ljudbok
Mitä nainen haluaa?Jonathan Templar pokeritovereineen ei ole vielä keksinyt vastausta. Jonathan esimerkiksi on ollut rakastunut Lissa Castleen siitä saakka, kun he olivat lapsia. Mutta Lissa ei ole koskaan nähnyt Jonathania sinä oikeana. Jonathanilla on viimeinen oljenkorsi jäljellä - heidän luokkakokouksensa. Kyle Long on yhtä lannistunut. Kaunis vastaanottovirkailija hänen toimistoltaan valitsee jatkuvasti miehiä, jotka ovat ehkä pidempiä, mutta eivät lainkaan ylivoimaisia. Adam Edwards on ehkä menestynein Jonathanin ystävistä, mutta valitettavasti hänenkään menestys ei ulotu kotielämään. Hänen vaimonsa vaihtoi hänen tietämättään kotioven lukon.Kun Jonathan löytää Vanessa Valentinen romanttiset romaanit, hän tietää löytäneensä myös etsimänsä rakkaudenasiantuntijan. Aluksi Jonathanin ystävät naureskelevat uudelle harrastukselle, mutta pian hekin huomaavat, että kyseisen kirjailijan romaanit ovat maailman parhaita rakkauden oppikirjoja. Pokeri-illat vaihtuvat lukupiiriksi... ja kun kirjat on luettu, he ovat miehiä, joita naiset haluavat!
