Israel Middle East

In this new captivating history audiobook, you will discover the truth about the ancient Canaanites.

On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate officially expired. That same day, the Jewish National Council issued the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel. About 10 minutes later, President Truman officially recognized the State of Israel, and the Soviet Union also quickly recognized Israel. However, the Palestinians and the Arab League did not recognize the new state, and the very next day, armies from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq invaded the former British Mandate to squelch Israel, while Saudi Arabia assisted the Arab armies.

In The Time beneath the Concrete, Nasser Abourahme argues that settler colonialism is always as much an attempt to conquer time as it is to conquer land. Taking as his primary object Palestinian refugee camps, created in the fallout of the eliminatory violence of Israel's founding, Abourahme shows how these camps become the primary place where settler colonial attempts to dominate space and time encounter Indigenous refusal. Seen from the camps, Israel becomes a settler colonial project defined by its inability to move past the past—a project stuck at its foundational moment of conquest.

Tra israeliani e palestinesi chi ha torto e chi ha ragione? Chi sono i "buoni" e chi i "cattivi"? Gli israeliani, che "da vittime si sono trasformati in carnefici"? O i palestinesi, che "non vogliono altro che distruggere Israele"? E quando comincia il conflitto? A fine Ottocento, con la nascita del sionismo, negli anni Venti del Novecento o nel 1948, quando Israele viene attaccato dai paesi arabi "con l’obiettivo di annientarlo", o quando si verifica la "pulizia etnica dei palestinesi"? E perché la pace non è mai stata raggiunta?

இருபதாம் நூற்றாண்டில் உலகம் சந்திக்க நேர்ந்த மிகப்பெரிய சிக்கல், இஸ்ரேல்-பாலஸ்தீன் தொடர்பானது. தனித்துவம் மிக்க இரண்டு மதங்களின் வலுவான முரண்பாட்டுப் பின்னணியில் திறமை மிக்க அரசியல்வாதிகளால் முன்னெடுத்துச் செல்லப்பட்ட மக்களின் உணர்வு சார்ந்ததொரு பிரச்னை.

Palestinian Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli Maoz Inon are unlikely peacemakers, dedicated to finding a solution to the bitter war that has decimated historical, ancient land and ended family lines. Despite the losses they have suffered, the resolve of their friendship has taught them that strength and unity are more powerful than the violence of separation. Throughout their travels, they have been constantly asked: In the face of so much pain and suffering on both sides, when there have been so many lives lost and families shattered, how can they ever find hope?

Suppose one day, your son or husband, while serving in the military or working as a journalist, is taken hostage by a terrorist group - and you have no idea whether your loved one is dead or alive. It’s a nightmare scenario. Here for the first time is the story of Ory Slonim, the one man in Israel who, for more than two decades, was known as the “door knocker.” He had been a private Israeli lawyer when he was asked to undertake, on behalf of the Israeli government, secret negotiations to find out the whereabouts of Israeli soldiers who were taken alive.

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.

אבל גם שם היא משיגה את עושי מעשי העוול והאכזריות, ושם בחגווי הסלע, היא קוטלת אותם אחד לאחד. אחרי יום שכזה, מספר אבו חרב, תהיה הארץ מכוסה גוויות, הסלעים יהיו מלובנים מרוב החום, וההרים יתפוררו לאבקה שתרבץ על הארץ ככותנה צהובה.

Pretendo lançar luz sobre os principais acontecimentos, personalidades e processos desde a chegada dos primeiros colonos judeus à Palestina histórica até os nossos dias, a fim de explicar por que esse conflito se tornou tão difícil de gerenciar. Espero que as injustiças infligidas aos palestinos por mais de um século inspirem os leitores, onde quer que estejam, a se solidarizar com sua luta e a se posicionar contra sua opressão.

Recognizing that Israeli-Jewish and Palestinian-Arab societies coexist and are engaged in constant relations, Nahum Karlinsky has assembled an impressive array of contributors to explore these diasporas alongside one another and in dialogue with other diasporic communities.

L’opportunité de revenir sur les tragiques et cruels évènements qui ont ébranlé Israël et ses valeurs fondamentales. Il s’agit de plonger dans les racines de ces évènements, ainsi que dans la vie quotidienne mais aussi dans l’histoire politico-militaire du peuple Israéliens depuis 75 ans. La nouvelle guerre d’Israël est un plaidoyer pour un Tsahal, lui aussi paradoxal, armée composée de soldats et d’officiers brillants et patriotiques, mais dirigée par des hommes et des généraux davantage préoccupés par leur propre avenir politique, ce qui fait de Tsahal un état dans l’état depuis toujours.

Un audiolibro que desgrana la creación del Mossad y sus operaciones dentro y fuera del estado Islámico. Frattini, experto en terrorismo y corresponsal en Israel y el Líbano, analiza la historia del Mossad desde su creación, en marzo de 1951 y la de la creación del Kidon, la sub-unidad de operaciones especiales del Mossad.

Story of Rich Man and Lazarus: Hell and Heaven Described in Their Own Words is about the lives of a rich man and a homeless man and what happened to them in eternity after their respective deaths. This first-person account is based on the story of "a certain rich man" and "a certain beggar named Lazarus" that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples in the Holy Bible's Gospel of Luke (16:19-31).

Desde 1951 el Mossad, conocido como ‘el Instituto’, se convirtió en uno de los más temibles servicios de espionaje al mando del Estado de Israel. Mitad mito, mitad realidad, el Mossad y sus Katsas supieron salvaguardar ese halo de misterio y secretismo que los convirtió en auténticas leyendas cuando en 1960 una unidad del Metsada secuestró al criminal de guerra Adolf Eichmann en Argentina y, tras trasladarlo clandestinamente a Israel, fue juzgado y ejecutado en la horca.

It's a great irony that Israel was more secure as an idea than its ever been as a nation with an army. In AD 70, when the Second Temple was destroyed, a handful of visionaries saved Judaism by reinventing it - by taking what had been a national religion, identified with a particular place, and turning it into an idea. Jews no longer needed Jerusalem to be Jews.

Throughout history, from the ancient pages of the Bible to the present day, heroes have risen to the call of destiny, facing overwhelming challenges with unwavering courage. Just as King David walked through the valley of the shadow of death, fearing no evil and finding strength in faith, modern-day heroes confront the trials of our time with a similar resolve. This book draws powerful parallels between these timeless acts of bravery and the heroic efforts witnessed during the events of October 7th.

Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States? Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the US as the most pernicious examples of "settler colonialism"? Answers to these questions were developing during the first term of President Trump. But they were abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process.

Foretelling Jacob’s Trouble: whose side are you on? unveils the overarching spiritual battle for Jerusalem, and explains the necessary legal framework that will deliver everlasting peace, despite fierce opposition. Who has not wondered what’s really happening in Israel and Gaza, or why a peaceful solution appears so difficult? Why is the world so divided, taking sides with either Israel or Palestine? Foretelling Jacob’s Trouble: whose side are you on? digs deep into these questions, with stirring results.
