Book Synopsis ISRAEL AGAINST ALL ODDS by : Christopher H. K. Persaud
Download or read book ISRAEL AGAINST ALL ODDS written by Christopher H. K. Persaud and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews are indisputably the most persecuted people in the annals of history. At the source of Jew-hatred in its myriad forms is anti-Semitism, a sinister and vile mindset that has existed since Old Testament times, that is, thousands of years. Anti-Semites pervade social, religious, economic and political confines, even mainstream Christianity, and their dislike for people of Jewish ancestry often translate into mindless persecution and slaughter, such as the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Second World War in the mid-twentieth century whereby over six million Jews met their deaths in the Holocaust. Anti-Semitism, instead of diminishing after the horrors of World War II, showed no sign of abatement, and it seems as though the entire world, with a few exceptions like the Jewish nation of Israel itself and the United States of America, is at loggerheads with Jews. Even international peacekeeping and monitoring organizations like the United Nations (and its numerous spinoff groups) are known to discriminate, sometimes barefacedly, against Jews and Israel. Middle Eastern Arabs and Muslims harbor intense loathing for Israel and Jews, and notwithstanding their occupancy of over ninety-nine percent of Middle Eastern territories, seek to covet the less than one percent of land in which Israelis reside—by any means necessary. Despite the seemingly insurmountable hardships and challenges Jews have faced throughout the centuries, they persist and even progress in today’s societies. They leave their enemies awe-struck at their resilience and their will to survive.

Book Synopsis Against All Odds by : William B. Helmreich
Download or read book Against All Odds written by William B. Helmreich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against All Odds is the first comprehensive look at the 140,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors who came to America and the lives they have made here. William Helmreich writes of their experiences beginning with their first arrival in the United States: the mixed reactions they encountered from American Jews who were not always eager to receive them; their choices about where to live in America; and their efforts in finding marriage partners with whom they felt most comfortable most often other survivors.In preparation, Helmreich spent more than six years traveling the United States, listening to the personal stories of hundreds of survivors, and examining more than 15,000 pages of data as well as new material from archives that have never before been available to create this remarkable, groundbreaking work. What emerges is a picture that is sharply different from the stereotypical image of survivors as people who are chronically depressed, anxious, and fearful.This intimate, enlightening work explores questions about prevailing over hardship and adversity: how people who have gone through such experiences pick up the threads of their lives; where they obtain the strength and spirit to go on; and, finally, what lessdns the rest of us can learn about overcoming tragedy.
Book Synopsis Against All Odds - The Magnificent Trio That Built the Israeli Air Force by : Hugo N. Gerstl
Download or read book Against All Odds - The Magnificent Trio That Built the Israeli Air Force written by Hugo N. Gerstl and published by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Incorporated. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1947 - The UN declares that the British Mandate over Palestine will come to an end. In May 1948 Israel and Arab Palestine will be divided into two independent states. The Arab world reacts immediately: There will be no Jewish state; it will be driven into the sea! Sixty-five million Arabs against six hundred thousand Israeli Jews. Britain has washed its hands of the problem. The United States, under the guise of the Neutrality Act, makes it a felony for any American to supply either side with any arms. Americans Al Schwimmer, Hank Greenspun, and Charlie Winters boldly defy the Neutrality Act and risk convictions by purchasing twenty-three former Nazi Messerschmitt Bf-109s in Czechoslovakia, painting out the swastikas on the tails with Jewish stars of David, and smuggling them to Israel; founding a "Panamanian" airline and flying seven large aircraft out of Panama "to do an aerial survey," but never returning; securing a huge cache of ammunition from a sympathetic junk dealer in Hawaii; smuggling weapons to Mexico on a hijacked yacht, and ultimately shipping them "to Nationalist China" - via Israel. Stripped of most of their rights as US citizens, Schwimmer is recruited to start a small aircraft maintenance plant in Israel, which will become Israel Aircraft Industries, a billion-dollar-a-year operation; Greenspun purchases a defunct newspaper, which he turns into the Las Vegas Sun and is among the first to call witch-hunting Senator Joseph McCarthy to account; Winters returns to importing and exporting fruit and diamonds between Israel and the United States. After the 1967 Six-Day War, when France reneges on its commitment to sell Israel fifty advanced fighter jets, the trio manages to "steal" plans from a friendly engineer in Geneva. Within six months Israel turns out its own homegrown Mach 2 fighter aircraft. And that's just the beginning. International best-selling author Hugo N. Gerstl has crafted a tantalizing, rewarding, magnificently readable tour de force based on the true life stories of three of Israel's most unheralded heroes, cementing and enhancing his reputation as a master storyteller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marriage of Science and the Bible is an adventure in new concepts. I invite you to explore them with me. We will investigate God's scientific credentials. We will witness his authority over physical science. We will see how he is applying the logic of science to human history. Our Creator introduced the scientific method. Examining his predictions (hypotheses), we can judge their accuracy across 4,000 years of human history. Evaluate use of science of history. Begin with secrets of the universe revealed long before modern satellites. Inspect a mathematically specific prediction of the coming of Jesus Christ. Does the Creator speak in absolutes? Does absolute truth exist? Consider the complexity of predicting the themes of history and future events. No man can do it. Recognize the unparalleled importance of God's expansion of science. Discover Jesus's description of biblical biology, biblical physics, and biblical chemistry, in God's design for human life. Consider why the availability of the Bible in the languages of Northern Europe resulted in the birth of modern science. Follow the flaw in human philosophy to Darwin's theory. Is it important that astrophysicists are linking the biblical account of creation with twentieth and twenty-first-century scientific discoveries? Personally confirm the science of history by viewing God's hypotheses and current events in Israel. Discover the purpose of human history. It's an adventure in reality!

Book Synopsis The Triumph of Israel's Radical Right by : Ami Pedahzur
Download or read book The Triumph of Israel's Radical Right written by Ami Pedahzur and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two decades ago, the idea that a "radical right" could capture and drive Israeli politics seemed highly improbable. While it was a boisterous faction and received heavy media coverage, it constituted a fringe element. Yet by 2009, Israel's radical right had not only entrenched itself in mainstream Israeli politics, it was dictating policy in a wide range of areas. The government has essentially caved to the settlers on the West Bank, and restrictions on non-Jews in Israel have increased in the past few years. Members of the radical right have assumed prominent positions in Israel's elite security forces. The possibility of a two state solution seems more remote than ever, and the emergence of ethnonationalist politician Avigdor Lieberman suggests that its power is increasing. Quite simply, if we want to understand the seemingly intractable situation in Israel today, we need a comprehensive account of the radical right. In The Triumph of Israel's Radical Right, acclaimed scholar Ami Pedahzur provides an invaluable and authoritative analysis of its ascendance to the heights of Israeli politics. After analyzing what, exactly, they believe in, he explains how mainstream Israeli policies like "the right of return" have served as unexpected foundations for their nativism and authoritarian tendencies. He then traces the right's steady rise, from the first intifada to the "Greater Israel" movement that is so prominent today. Throughout, he focuses on the radical right's institutional networks and how the movement has been able to expand its constituency. His closing chapter is grim yet realistic: he contends that a two state solution is no longer viable and that the vision of the radical rabbi Meir Kahane, who was a fringe figure while alive, has triumphed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish people have been and are indisputably the most persecuted people in the annals of history. Today. 53% of all hate crimes in the United States of America are directed at the Jewish People. At the source of Jew-hatred in its myriad forms is anti-Semitism, a sinister and vile mindset that has existed since Old Testament times or for thousands of years. Anti-Semites pervade social, religious, economic and political confines, even mainstream Christianity, and their dislike for people of Jewish ancestry often translate into mindless persecution and slaughter, such as the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Second World War in the mid-twentieth century whereby over six million Jews met their deaths in the Holocaust.

ISRAEL and Jews around the world continue to stand tall today—against all odds!
Download or read book Saving Israel written by Boaz Dvir and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible true story of a WWII veteran’s renegade operation to help Israel defend itself during the First Arab-Israeli War. Shortly after Israel was created in 1948, it faced the threat of invasion by five well-equipped neighboring armies. Though the United States opposed supplying arms to either side of the conflict, American World War II veteran Al Schwimmer was determined to do whatever it takes to help Israel defend herself. Schwimmer created factitious airlines, bought decommissioned airplanes from the government, and sent his pilots to pick up rifles, bullets, and fighter planes from the only country willing to break the international arms embargo: communist Czechoslovakia. Schwimmer and his team risked their lives, freedom, and US citizenship to prevent what they viewed as an imminent genocide. They evaded the FBI and State Department, gained the support of the mafia, smuggled weapons—mostly Nazi surplus—across hostile territories, and went into combat in the Middle East. This book vividly tells the story of this little-known yet historically significant mission.

Download or read book God’s Heart for Israel (and Us) written by John Weldon and published by ATRI Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We read God’s promises to Israel in the Old Testament where it is referred to as “the apple of His eye but is God done with Israel since they rejected their Messiah? Are we as Christians supposed to stand for the nation of Israel today? Has the Church now replaced Israel so that God’s promises and covenants given in the OT no longer apply to Israel? What is Israel’s global importance? Is global anti-Semitism on the rise? What will be Israel's ultimate future? According to an article in the Jerusalem Post of June 17 2011 Israel is at a "do-or-die moment." "As was the case in May 1967 when the combined Arab armies gathered with the express purpose of wiping the Jewish state off the map – today again Israel is alone in its hour of greatest peril." John Weldon is able to answer these questions and address the important issues of our day because of the extensive research he has done on Middle East and America. He shares what he has learned in this deeply thought-provoking book.

Download or read book Israel and the Cyber Threat written by Charles D. Freilich and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book offers the first comprehensive examination of Israeli policies and practice in both the civil and military cyber realms and insights into what other countries can learn from its experience. The book is designed for cyber theorists and practitioners, people interested in the Middle East, and general audiences. It explores how and why Israel has become a global cyber power, despite its small size, arguing that a combination of strategic and economic necessity, along with an innovative culture, has driven Israel's success. The Israeli cyber experience is studied in the lens of realist and constructivist international relations theories and analyzes many of the major quandaries facing cyber theorists and practitioners alike. The book focuses both on Israel's civil and military cyber strategies, including the organizational structures and policies it has put in place, national capacity building, including the unique contribution of the IDF and defense establishment to Israel's cyber ecosystem, and international cyber cooperation. It presents a comprehensive picture all significant cyber attacks conducted against Israel, including a comprehensive picture of Iran's cyber policies, institutions and capabilities. Particular attention is devoted to Israel's military cyber response, including the cyber attacks it has known to have conducted. Each chapter takes an in depth look at the major actions Israel has taken in a different dimension of the cyber realm, placing them in a broader context to help readers understand state behavior in the cyber realm generally. The book concludes with the first proposal for a comprehensive Israeli national cyber strategy"--

Download or read book My Promised Land written by Ari Shavit and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.
