In 1971, in the wake of George Jackson's killing by San Quentin prison guards, a poem entitled "Enemy of the Sun" was found among ninety-nine books in the revolutionary's cell. The handwritten poem came to be circulated in Black Panther newspapers under Jackson's name, assumed to be a vestige of...

East Jerusalem is more than a city; it is a battleground of maps, walls, and blueprints. In The Occupied City: How Israel Shapes Palestinian Life, listeners are taken inside one of the world’s most contested urban landscapes, where every building permit, zoning law, and planning decision becomes a tool of power.

From biblical origins to modern diplomacy, A Brief History of The State of Israel offers a cinematic and accessible journey through one of the world’s most complex and resilient nations. Derek Monaghan traces Israel’s evolution—from ancient kingdoms and the rise of Zionism to wars, peace accords, and technological triumphs—illuminating the human spirit behind its founding and survival. Blending historical precision with vivid storytelling, this book explores the triumphs and tragedies that shaped Israel’s identity, its regional conflicts, and its global significance.

Lo Stato di Israele venne formato nel 1948, dando luogo alla Nakba o «catastrofe»: la rimozione della nazione palestinese, causa di fratture che continuano a sfociare in forme tragiche e violente anche oggi. Negli anni che sono seguiti, mentre il muro di Berlino crollava e il Sudafrica aboliva l'apartheid, il governo israeliano ha rifiutato ogni opportunità di riconciliazione con la Palestina.

Né à Jaffa en Israël, Eli Sharabi a été enlevé le 7 octobre 2023 à son domicile du kibboutz Be'eri. Retenu captif pendant 491 jours, il est devenu la voix, dans diverses enceintes internationales (ONU, rassemblements a Tel.Aviv, rencontres à la Maison Blanche), des otages et martyrs du 7 octobre.

Come recita un antico detto spagnolo, quando si verifica un'inondazione - di informazioni, nel nostro caso - la prima cosa che manca è l'acqua potabile. Per farsi un'idea sulle grandi questioni del nostro tempo, molti ricorrono a Wikipedia, alla televisione o a instant book come quelli pubblicati nei mesi seguiti al 7 ottobre 2023: testi spesso scritti da giornalisti o studiosi che non conoscono le lingue locali, non hanno mai lavorato su fonti primarie del Mediterraneo orientale o vissuto nei luoghi di cui scrivono, né hanno mai neanche visitato - fosse anche per qualche ora - Gaza.

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.

Con el fin de combatir la desinformación, este libro es un intento de explicar al lector hispanohablante el enigma Israel más allá de la inmediatez de las noticias. Tras un rápido repaso del pasado del pueblo judío, Cymerman se centra en las décadas previas a la creación del estado de Israel y la lucha por la supervivencia, especialmente en sus primeros años de existencia. De manera inevitable, un bloque importante aborda la historia del conflicto árabe-israelí.

El descubrimiento de los manuscritos del Mar Muerto en 1947 es considerado el acontecimiento arqueológico más importante del siglo XX. Los documentos contienen los textos más antiguos de la Biblia hebrea y una amplia colección de escritos que describen el contexto social, político y religioso que se vivía en Jerusalén durante los orígenes del cristianismo. Desde el día en el que unos jóvenes beduinos recuperaron una cabra que se había perdido en una cueva del desierto la leyenda ha acompañado la historia de este descubrimiento.

This book presents a comprehensive and pragmatic blueprint for resolving the Ukraine-Russia conflict and achieving lasting peace in the region. At its core is a six-part formula: an immediate ceasefire; deployment of UN peacekeeping forces in occupied territories; a UN-organized referendum to let local populations decide their political future; total withdrawal of Russian and Ukrainian forces from contested regions before the vote; binding commitments from both Putin and Zelensky to honor the results; and a formal pledge from Ukraine not to join NATO, addressing Russia's key security concern.

There is a popular belief among Americans, and particularly among Christian Zionists, that the territory of historical Palestine rightfully belonged to the Jewish people because of their ancient connection to the land. Many even believe hoax claims such as that Arabs only started populating the area in a wave of mass immigration to take advantage of the economic development from Jews returning to the land in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; that no such place as “Palestine” ever really existed; and that the idea of a “Palestinian” people is a modern invention.

Isabella Hammad delivered the Edward W. Said Memorial Lecture at Columbia University nine days before October 7th, 2023. The text of Hammad’s seminal speech and her afterword, written in the early weeks of 2024, together make up a searing appraisal of the war on Palestine during what seems a turning point in the narrative of human history. Profound and moving, Hammad writes from within the moment, shedding light on the Palestinian struggle for freedom.

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.

Ron Leshem ist Autor, Journalist und ehemaliger israelischer Geheimdienstoffizier, Verwandte von ihm wurden ermordet oder entführt. Hier schildert er ein zutiefst gespaltenes Land, den Tag des Terrors und seine unabsehbaren Folgen. Am 7. Oktober 2023 überzog die Hamas Israel mit Terror, seither hält die Welt den Atem an – und überschlagen sich die Ereignisse. Ron Leshem zeichnet in seinem bewegenden Text jenen Tag und die Entwicklungen seither nach – und führt ein zutiefst gespaltenes Land vor Augen. Gerade der liberale, auf Verständigung bedachte Teil der Gesellschaft wurde getroffen.

In this lecture, Dr. Montgomery offers an in-depth analysis based both upon Scripture and upon the human rights record of modern Israel vis-à-vis the Palestinian problem and the Near East situation in general.

The best example of a country, from beginning to end, is Israel's history as told in the Bible. Because they did not follow God's commandments, they eventually lost their country for over two thousand years. This book examines Israel's history and compares it to what we are doing in America today. There are several sins we are practicing today in America that are the same as Israel's. I list some of the sins we are practicing today and the Bible's condemnation of those sins.

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.
