Showing titles in Israel & Palestine

Three people living in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem embark on distinct journeys that converge at "the file"; their efforts to admit Palestine to the Olympics in the early 20th century. Their pivotal roles in history have been purposely omitted from official record, kept secret, or forgotten. Why? Because of the "Nazi Olympics" in 1936 in Berlin. And because of the death in 1972 of eleven Israeli Olympic athletes in the Munich Massacre. This book narrates the previously untold history of a Palestine Olympic Committee recognized before the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.

While Israel is a modern and largely secular country, it is one steeped in biblical history - a place where religion still plays an active role in public life. In 70 years, it has grown from a sparsely populated strip of land into a vigorous democracy and regional superpower. Often called the Startup Nation, Israel is a world leader in a number of high-tech industries. Its democratic institutions, despite political and social polarization in recent years, are among the most enlightened in the world.

Ruth Elias, a Jewish woman who was taken to Auschwitz while several months pregnant, recounts her challenging and unthinkable story of confronting perhaps the most agonizing choice so that she and her newborn infant would not die.

An American, secular, diasporic Jew, Lis Harris grew up with the knowledge of the historical wrongs done to Jews. In adulthood, she developed a growing awareness of the wrongs they in turn had done to the Palestinian people. This gave her an intense desire to understand how the Israelis’ history led them to where they are now. However, she found that top-down political accounts and insider assessments made the people most affected seem like chess pieces.

De vijfjarige Milad Salama is met zijn klas op schoolreisje naar een speelparadijs vlak bij Jeruzalem als de schoolbus in botsing komt met een vrachtwagen en in brand vliegt. De Palestijn Abed raakt verstrikt in een bureaucratisch doolhof. Hij bevindt zich aan de verkeerde kant van de muur, heeft niet het vereiste identiteitsbewijs om de militaire controleposten te passeren en kan Jeruzalem niet in. Hij heeft geen idee waar zijn zoon is.

Il 25 ottobre 2023, dopo tre settimane di devastanti bombardamenti su Gaza, Omar El Akkad pubblica in rete queste parole: "Un giorno, quando sarà sicuro, quando non ci sarà alcun rischio personale nel chiamare le cose con il loro nome, quando sarà troppo tardi per ritenere qualcuno responsabile, tutti diranno di essere stati contro". Il post viene visualizzato più di dieci milioni di volte. La sua veemente denuncia dell'ipocrisia dell'Occidente dinanzi al genocidio di Gaza, del tradimento della sua promessa di libertà e giustizia per tutti, suscita un'eco enorme.

Ha ancora senso oggi parlare di Palestina e Israele usando espressioni come "processo di pace", "soluzione a due Stati", "partizione"? Ha senso continuare con un vuoto dibattito politico, facendo il gioco dei sionisti e mantenendo lo stato quo? Le tesi di Noam Chomsky e Ilan Pappe raccolte in questo volume ruotano attorno all'idea che i tempi siano maturi per un cambio di rotta.

Who Will Tell My Story? presents an ordinary existence interrupted by unfathomably seismic and unjust events.

Maybe you've heard about the biblical book called "Revelation" which millions of Christians believe contains prophesies about events that will signal the end of the world, with more than a few claiming these signs are already happening! But how many of these believers have actually bothered to read and study the book of Revelation to find out if these claims are true? Sadly, the vast majority have not ever read through it even one time!

If you are a college student in the United States, you have likely seen or participated in protests against Israel. Perhaps you’ve marched and demanded that your university stop being “complicit in genocide” or cut ties with the (world’s only, apparently) “white settler colonialist entity,” and the like. Perhaps you’ve abused your Jewish classmates over this issue, as nearly three in four Jewish college students reported in 2023.

La genèse du conflit israélo-arabe, dont l'actualité est surabondamment couverte par les médias, demeure paradoxalement mal connue. Si c'est au sortir de la Première Guerre mondiale que se cristallise ce qui n'est pas seulement le choc de deux nationalismes, mais un affrontement culturel recouvert par un conflit " religieux " et d'innombrables polémiques sur la nature du projet sioniste, c'est bien avant 1914 qu'il a pris forme dans le discours à la fois des élites arabes, de la vieille communauté juive séfarade et des sionistes d'Europe orientale.
