Showing titles in Israel & Palestine

Uri Bialer lays a foundation for understanding the principal aspects of Israeli foreign policy, from the early days of the state's existence to the Oslo Accords. In addition to identifying important state actors, Bialer highlights the many figures who had no defined, diplomatic roles, but were influential in establishing foreign policy goals. He shows how foreign policy was essential to the political, economic, and social well-being of the state, and how it helped to deal with Israel's most intractable problem - the resolution of the conflict with Arab states and the Palestinians.

In Conspiracy U, Shay presents a case study of his alma mater, Northwestern University, in order to challenge the proliferation of anti-Zionist conspiracy theories championed on college campuses by both the far right and far left. Shay tackles the thorny question of how otherwise brilliant minds willingly come to embrace and espouse such patent falsehoods. He explains why Zionism, the movement for Jewish national self-determination, has become the focal point for both far-right and far-left conspiracy theories.

New York City - the Big Apple - transformed to a ghost town, where peaceful citizens dare not tread. Macy’s - symbol of American free enterprise - shut down. Rioting, looting, murder, attacks on police, destruction of monuments to American heroes in numerous American cities, all in the guise of “protests” against racism.

La Biblia hace referencia a Canaán en varias ocasiones. Por ejemplo, Dios ordenó a los israelitas destruir a los cananeos tras la huida de los israelitas desde Egipto. Sin embargo, la historia real de esta civilización no coincide completamente con lo señalado por fuentes teológicas. Por ejemplo, la civilización cananea consistió en multitud de diferentes pueblos del mismo grupo étnico, pero con diferentes culturas. Las fronteras de la región además eran frecuentemente redefinidas.

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).

Ready for the Rapture presents a powerful and inspiring in-depth study of two of the most important and revelatory books of the Bible with respect to end-time events or eschatology in theological terms - first and second Thessalonians. While from a theological perspective this two-part volume is an exegetical treatise of these two vital New Testament books, it is masterfully narrated in a way that makes the Pauline letters' doctrine-rich content readily understandable and intriguing to listeners with as little as an elementary education.

The Road to Nablus is the true story of a boy who fought to escape from a hardscrabble refugee camp in Palestine and a wretched destiny in store for him in the aftermath of World War II. He was seven years old when United Nations Resolution 181 was enacted in November of 1947 to partition Palestine and to allow displaced Jews into the region after the war. The young boy's family suffered greatly in the ensuing violence. He was eight years old when soldiers showed up at his family's house in Lydda in the summer of 1948 and evicted them at gunpoint.

Dieses spannende und anhand von Originaldokumenten recherchierte Hörbuch schildert eine der bekanntesten Fluchtgeschichten des 20. Jahrhunderts in Verbindung mit der Gründung des Staates Israel: Am 11. Juli 1947 beginnen über 4.500 jüdische Flüchtlinge ein spektakuläre Flucht über das Mittelmeer. Auf dem umgebauten Linienschiff "President Warfield", das von den Passagieren in "Exodus" umgetauft wird, hoffen sie endlich in das Land ihrer Vorfahren zu kommen: nach Palästina.

On a cold, cloudy day in early February 1985, Shelley Wachsmann, then resident nautical archaeologist for the Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums, drove to Kibbutz Ginosar, an agricultural settlement near the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Two brothers, avid amateur archaeologists, had found a boat buried in the lake, its outlines revealed by receding lake waters. The boat was "possibly ancient," according to the handwritten note placed on Wachsmann's desk a day or two before.

Overlooking the Border continues the dialogue surrounding the social history of Jerusalem. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book juxtaposes Israeli and Palestinian personal narratives about the past with contemporary museum exhibits, street plaques, tourism, and real estate projects that are reshaping the city since the decline of the peace process and the second intifada. As sites of memory, Jerusalem's homes, streets, and natural areas form the setting for emotionally charged narratives about belonging and rights to place.

Along with analysis and anecdotes of important events and people, Israel and Her Enemies is the perfect starting point for understanding how the Middle East conflicts have gotten to where they are at today and what the future may hold.

Serving as both a glossary and primer of the history of the Middle East conflict and the peace process, Decoding the Conflict Between Israel and the Palestinians defines the terms, looks at the region’s history, discusses previous attempts at negotiations like Oslo and Taba, identifies important figures, and explains the arguments and mentalities of each side, showing why the conflict has proven so intractable.

Durante la Guerra de los Seis Días en 1967, las fuerzas israelíes atacaron repentinamente el Sinaí en respuesta a la violación por parte de Egipto de un tratado anterior que permitía el paso de barcos israelíes a través del importante Estrecho de Tirán. En una campaña relámpago, las fuerzas israelíes bien entrenadas y bien dirigidas, equipadas con vehículos y aviones americanos y franceses, destrozaron decisivamente a las fuerzas armadas egipcias de baja calidad. Cuando Jordania y Siria atacaron a Israel en apoyo de Egipto, los israelíes también aplastaron sus fuerzas.

During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israeli forces struck suddenly into Sinai in response to an Egyptian violation of an earlier treaty agreement that allowed Israeli ships passage through the important Straits of Tiran. In a lightning campaign, the Israeli forces, equipped with American and French vehicles and aircraft, shattered the low-quality Egyptian army forces decisively. When Jordan and Syria attacked Israel in support of Egypt, the Israelis smashed their forces also. Israel acquired most of the Sinai, as well as occupying the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights.

“The Way to the Spring is a riveting and powerful work . . . . Readers near and far who seek greater understanding of how Palestinians live—and the violence they endure—are well served by Ehrenreich’s book.” —Haaretz “Ehrenreich's haunting, poignant and memorable stories add up...

Issues like abortion, homosexuality, and old-young earth debate often drive wedges both between the church and the world. Another polarizing issue is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Evangelical support for Israel among the younger generation is dropping at an alarming rate. Why is there such division between the church and the world and even among believers themselves about this issue?

Because Israel has contributed so much to all of us, what was once just an Israelite culture has grown to become what is by and large an inherited world culture. As the scriptures promised to Abraham, "I will make your descendants countless as the dust of the earth; if anyone could count the dust upon the ground, then he could count your descendants." I believe that this scripture does hold true.
