The State Of Israel Vs. The Jews

Más información sobre el libro

An award-winning journalist presents a perceptive study on how Israel's actions, which contradict traditional Jewish values, are increasingly jeopardizing Jewish communities worldwide. Historian Tony Judt previously questioned whether Israel's behavior was detrimental not only to itself but also to Jews globally. Under Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership, this concern has intensified. Veteran journalist Sylvain Cypel delves into Israel's rightward shift on the international stage and its impact on the diaspora. He uncovers lesser-known aspects of the military occupation of Palestinian territories, the prevailing mindset of ethnic superiority within a largely dominant Israeli "colonial camp," and the introduction of laws that create a two-tier citizenship system for Jews and non-Jews. Cypel illustrates how Israel has aligned with authoritarian regimes and adopted security state practices, including technologies implicated in the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The study also explores the repercussions of Israel's recent evolution on Jewish communities in France and the United States, analyzing the differing responses of public figures in each country.
