I read the book “Jewish Paradox” from Nahum Goldmann. He was creator of the World Jewish Congress in 1933 to protect Jews from Hitler and president of World Zionist Congress.
In his book he often criticizes Ben Gurion for only using military might in dealing with Palestinians. He says all belligerent tone from Israel society was learned from Ben Gurion.
according to him, had Israel applied 1/5 of the effort it used to get favours with Western Powers for understanding arabs, Israelis and Palestinians would be in peace. Not just legal peace on the paper, but real peace from heart to heart.
This book has inspired me a lot and I’d like to know if any of you can recommend a book by another Israel/Jewish politician/leader which had really from it’s heart the desire to be in peace with Palestinians.
If possible, please a politician/leader who wrote a book themself
This Netanyahu is really a f*****:
“Rallies organized by Likud and other right-wing groups featured depictions of Rabin in a Nazi SS uniform, or in the crosshairs of a gun.[2][3] Protesters compared the Labor party to the Nazis and Rabin to Adolf Hitler[5] and chanted, “Rabin is a murderer” and “Rabin is a traitor”.[8][9] In July 1995, Netanyahu led a mock funeral procession featuring a coffin and hangman’s noose at an anti-Rabin rally where protesters chanted, “Death to Rabin”.[10][11] The chief of internal security, Carmi Gillon, then alerted Netanyahu of a plot on Rabin’s life and asked him to moderate the protests’ rhetoric, which Netanyahu declined to do.[8][12] Netanyahu denied any intention to incite violence.[2][3][13]”
And there was a religious order to kill Rabin (called rodef). It’s outraging that Zionists complain about Islamic fatwas, but their religion has the same shit:
“In the Israeli settlements, pamphlets debating the validity of applying din rodef and din moser (“law of the informer”) to Rabin and the Oslo Accords were distributed at synagogues. Both carried a death sentence according to traditional Halakhic law.[6] There was disagreement among religious Zionists as to whether Amir ever secured authorization from a rabbi to carry out the assassination of Rabin.[16] His father later said that in the months before the assassination, Amir repeatedly “said that the prime minister should be killed because a din rodef was issued against him”.[17] During his later trial, Amir stated: “I acted according to din rodef. … It was not a personal act, I just wanted [Rabin] to be removed from his position”.[18]”
