![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() I can't say I agree for 100% with all the arguments but much here makes sense. The sad fact, in the end, is that the world cannot and will not function as this book/author would like. A lot of what is advocated comes from hindsight, but humanity does not work that way. At other times the author wishes that double standards would not exist against Israel, so do I, but that is, again, not the world we live in. In the end this book is filled with a good amount of truth and honesty as well as emotion. At the same time, there is also too much idealism and not enough realistic thinking and acceptance. If the majority of the world was familiar with its own history then many of the mistakes made today would never have occurred, but that type of idealistic dream is just that. We should not concentrated on what could have been but rather try to understand our present reality, including how and why it came about, and what we can do to change it in the future, for the better. ![]() If you can overlook the author's overly high opinion of himself you may find enough of interest to hold your attention. That didn't happen with me. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
With the Jewish Revolution classical Zionism has found its true interpretation. In the highest tradition of the soldier-statesman, Dr Israel Eldad advocates a form of Zionism that is unpopular in conventional society. He condemns establishmentarian, social-club Zionism as a belittling of Jewish history and a threat to Jewish lives. In its place, he calls for a revolutionary creed one that dares assert its right to the Jewish homeland; not as defined by diplomats, politicians and Security Council Resolutions, but in biblical, historical terms. He boldly declares that Jewish diplomacy failed to save millions of European Jews, and he accuses world leaders of inviting new Holocausts by denying history s lessons and ignoring its imperatives. He warns the Jewish people that it can rely only on its own forces, and he offers a solution to the Arab problem in the Middle East. The Jewish Revolution combines the passion of the patriot, the logic of the scholar and the sweep of the historian. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The Gefen edition is further enhanced by the editorial work (an introduction, footnotes, and an afterward) of Eldad's son, Arieh, who serves in the Knesset and appears to hold the same Zionist beliefs of his father. These serve to put his father's words into a modern context. His constant refrain that extremist Islam is the next Soviet Union is interesting, but not quite convincing. There is also a very useful map of the Middle East North Africa region with each country's population shown, printed onto the book's endpapers. Overall, The Jewish Revolution : Jewish Statehood is an interesting book, which provides an uncommon and masterful view of one of Israel's major political philosophies, classical Zionism. Whether or not one agrees with Eldad's conclusions or thinks that they are realistic, one cannot ignore the influence these ideas have had in determining the political situation in the Middle East even to this day. This alone makes it worth reading. (
