The Invention of the Land of Israel
Автор: Shlomo Sand
Год издания: 0000
Groundbreaking new work from the controversial author of Invention of the Jewish People. What is a homeland and when does it become a national territory? Why have so many people been willing to die for such places throughout the twentieth century? What is the essence of the Promised Land? Following the acclaimed and controversial The Invention of the Jewish People, Shlomo Sand examines the mysterious sacred land that has become the site of the longest-running national struggle of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Invention of the Land of Israel deconstructs the age-old legends surrounding the Holy Land and the prejudices that continue to suffocate it. Sand’s account dissects the concept of “historical right” and tracks the creation of the modern concept of the “Land of Israel” by nineteenth-century Evangelical Protestants and Jewish Zionists. This invention, he argues, not only facilitated the colonization of the Middle East and the establishment of the State of Israel; it is also threatening the existence of the Jewish state today.

Mossad. Iisraeli salateenistuse tahtsaimad operatsioonid
Автор: Michael Bar-Zohar
Год издания:
Kaesolevas raamatus tuuakse paevavalgele Mossadi koige keerukamad operatsioonid ja koige vapramad kangelased. Raagitakse ka nende eksimustest ja labikukkumistest, mis on mitmel korral agentuuri mainet kahjustanud ja selle alustalasid koigutanud. Salateenistuse tegevus on mitmel moel Iisraeli saatust ja maailma muutnud. Koigele vaatamata kannustab Mossadi salaagente sugav ja idealistlik kodumaa-armastus, taielik puhendumine oma riigi sailimise eest voitlemisele ning valmisolek vastu astuda koige hirmsamatele ohtudele, nad on Iisraeli nimel koigeks valmis.
