À propos de cet audio
National Jewish Book Award finalist
An essential and accessible introduction to one of the most complex, controversial topics in the world, from a leading expert on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
When it comes to Israel and Palestine, it can be hard to know what to say. Daniel Sokatch gets it. He heads the New Israel Fund, an organization dedicated to equality and democracy for all Israelis—Arab, Jewish, and otherwise. The question he gets asked, on an almost daily basis, is, "Can't you just explain the Israel situation to me? In, like, 10 minutes or less?" This book is his timely and much-needed answer.
Can We Talk About Israel? tells the story of that country and explores why so many people feel so strongly about it without actually understanding it very well at all. Sokatch grapples with a century-long struggle between two peoples that both perceive themselves as (and indeed are) victims. And he explains why Israel (and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) inspires such extreme feelings—why it seems like Israel is the answer to “what is wrong with the world” for half the people in it, and “what is right with the world” for the other half. As Sokatch asks, is there any other topic about which so many intelligent, educated, and sophisticated people express such strongly and passionately held convictions, and about which they actually know so little?
Can We Talk About Israel? is an easy-to-comprehend yet penetrating and original look at a subject we could all afford to better understand.©2021 Daniel Sokatch (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
- Concise, gets to the point of most dynamics of the conflict.
- Level headed and thoughtful approach to the material.
- Author points out their own biases and is able to approach topics with nuance.
- Structured incredibly well. Part 1 consists of the history of Palestine and the formation of Israel to the present day. Part 2 includes important topics that are continually brought up and gives information that delves further into each angle and the rationale of the groups and leaders related. It leads from one part of the conflict to another and provides viewpoints from multiple angles.
Cons:
- Performance wise I could have done without the attempts at accents for the different speakers, sometimes it came off patronizing. Probably not intended but still something that felt off.
