Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel

Product Information

He describes Israel’s assault on Gaza without telling of the thousands of rockets bombarding Negev towns for years beforehand. Through his far-ranging travels, Blumenthal illuminates the present by uncovering the ghosts of the past the histories of Palestinian neighborhoods and villages now gone and forgotten; how that history has set the stage for the current crisis of Israeli society; and how the Holocaust has been turned into justification for occupation. He constantly brought our conversation back to the Holocaust to justify everything he was doing and all these laws, which in my mind resembled the early inception of Nuremberg laws, stripping the ethnic out class of their legal rights. Any American who reads this book and is not moved by the brutality of the Israeli state is missing a chip.

Meanwhile many Palestinians across the occupied Palestinian territories are being pushed out of their homes and lands, from Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah and the Palestinian neighbourhoods in close proximity to the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque – referred to by Israelis as the Temple Mount – to the South Hebron Hills and areas all over the West Bank.

But, more than this, an ever increasing justification of the brutality they deal out to the indigenous occupants. As for the book’s supposedly unusual interviewees, they appear regularly, everywhere from Charlie Rose to The New York Times, Haaretz and the Forward. They also have the right to live in any of the illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. Dieses Buch beschreibt die Politik und Geschichte Israels sowohl aus der Sicht der Zionisten als auch der vertriebenen Palästinenser und der nichtjüdischen Israelis.Among other things, he’s interviewed “all sorts of people who are not the usual sources cited by much of the US media, including Israeli dissidents, Palestinian citizens of Israel, Bedouin villagers, Palestinian popular protest leaders, members of the Knesset from across the spectrum, and a host of right-wing Israeli officials, especially from the younger generation. Lannan Foundation Cultural Freedom Notable Book AwardIn Goliath , New York Times bestselling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens.
