Suspensions of Touch af Ellen McCarty (Bog)

Jeff Halper's book, like his life's work, is an inspiration. Drawing on his many years of directly challenging Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, he offers one of the most insightful analyses of the occupation I've read. His voice cries out to be heard.Jonathan Cook, author of Blood and Religion (2006) and Israel and the Clash of Civilisations (2008)In this book, the Israeli anthropologist and activist Jeff Halper throws a harsh light on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the point of view of a critical insider. While the Zionist founders of Israel created a vibrant society, culture and economy, they did so at a high price: Israel could not maintain its exclusive Jewish character without imposing on the country's Palestinian population policies of ethnic cleansing, occupation and discrimination, expressed most graphically in its ongoing demolition of thousands of Palestinian home

Titel: In Search of Identity: Jewish Aspects in Israeli Culture af Dan Urian (Bog) Forfattere: Dan Urian,Efraim Karsh Genre: Historisk Sammendrag: As Israel reaches its fiftieth year of statehood, Israeli society faces a deepening crisis of identity.
