Description
The incessant establishment of new Jewish colonies in Palestine, deadly suicide attacks in Israel, an impossible peace to conquer in the Middle East? Starting from the 16th century, Lucas Catherine immerses us in this region to describe Palestine as a fertile land and Jerusalem as a booming city. At the end of the 19th century, a tiny Jewish minority was present there but for essentially religious reasons; it had no economic or political ambition at that time. In 2003, 92% of the Palestinian territories fell under "the inalienable property of the entire Jewish people"... While more than 4 million Palestinians have already been exiled outside the historical borders of Palestine, the children of the second Intifada suffer the military occupation of Tsahal and remain confronted with the Zionist principle: "A country without a people for a people without a country." What is Zionism? What does this ideology advocate and who supports it? Is it the last form of colonialism? What is the involvement of the United States and the main European countries in this bloody conflict? And what are the conditions for ending it? Richly illustrated with photos and maps, this in-depth work was essential to answer one of the most complex questions in contemporary history.
