This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History and one of the New York Times’s 100 Notable Books of the Year. The assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin remains the single most consequential event in Israel’s recent history, and one that fundamentally altered the trajectory for both Israel and the Palestinians. In Killing a King, Dan Ephron relates the parallel stories of Rabin and his stalker, Yigal Amir, over the two years leading up to the assassination, as one of them planned political deals he hoped would lead to peace, and the other plotted murder. "Carefully reported, clearly presented, concise and gripping," It stands as "a reminder that what happened on a Tel Aviv sidewalk 20 years ago is as important to understanding Israel as any of its wars" (Matti Friedman, The Washington Post).

Book Synopsis Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin? by : Barry Chamish
Download or read book Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin? written by Barry Chamish and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chamish has carefully reviewed both the official government position on the Rabin assassination and collected a huge amount of information connected to the event and carefully cross checked it. The Israeli government's official position, supported by a special government commission, is that a lone gunman, Amir, assassinated Rabin. Now learn the truth behind Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin's assassination. Read about ballistics reports and an amateur film of the assassination which was doctored to hide the truth, but helps reveal it. Conflicting testimonies by over a dozen witnesses, including trained police personnel and bodyguards, is presented on how many shots were fired, and where exactly the shots came from; cries that the bullets fired by Amir were blanks, hence harmless, came from these police and bodyguards. There was little attempt to contain the shooter, Amir, before or after the shots were fired; the chain of evidence to the guns and the bullets that reportedly killed Rabin is broken. Rabin's wife was taken to secret service headquarters rather than to the hospital to her husband. Autopsy reports that first indicated the fatal wound was to Rabin's chest were later changed so the bullets came from the back where Amir, the convicted murderer, was standing. The strong possibility is that the fatal shot was administered in the car going to the hospital or in the hospital. Read testimonies that changed over time from the event to the trial of Amir. Chamish reviews the evidence relating to all these details, and more, surrounding the assassination. A far more sinister truth than the official version unfolds. This newly expanded edition reveals the conclusive evidence that dramaticallychanges one's views of the assassination.
Book Synopsis Murder in the Name of God by : Michael Karpin
Download or read book Murder in the Name of God written by Michael Karpin and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 1998-11-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to tell the complete, explosive story of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. A dramatic tale of treachery and betrayal, Murder in the Name of God investigates and recreates the historic events of November 4, 1995. On that night a twenty-five-year-old student named Yigal Amir assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, an act that abruptly changed the course of Israeli politics. Based on exhaustive research, including an exclusive interview with the assassin, Murder in the Name of God is the first book to give the full story of the people whose words and actions made Rabin's assassination inevitable: the nationalist rabbis who condemned Rabin by invoking an arcane talmudic ruling; the militant settlers and right-wing politicians who launched a sophisticated campaign of incitement against him; and the security experts who saw what was coming but failed to act. In a series of shocking revelations, the book ranges beyond Israel to expose the extent of American support--financial and ideological--for the movement that produced Rabin's killer. Far more than the tale of an assassination, Murder in the Name of God is a powerful indictment of a society's failure to examine itself honestly and to bring its own worst enemies to justice.
Book Synopsis Brother Against Brother by : Ehud Sprinzak
Download or read book Brother Against Brother written by Ehud Sprinzak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking and controversial study of the rising tide of militancy in Israel, Ehud Sprinzak lays bare the historical roots of violence in Israeli domestic politics, examining the effects such militancy has had on the nation's civic culture. He traces the origins of the extremist thread to the era of the founding of the Jewish state, and shows how it has grown increasingly malignant in the past decade, culminating in the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER takes the reader through the critical turning points in Israeli political history and introduces us to the leaders whose careers were baptized by blood. Through his exploration of the disputes between David Ben-Gurion's Labour Movement and Menachem Begin's Irgun movement, Sprinzak argues that their legacy of conflict provided the inspiration for such agitators as Meir Kahane and the Orthodox radicals behind the Hebron massacre of 1994 and Rabin's assassination. Despite Sprinzak's disturbing accounts of violence, he remains optimistic that when peace between Israeli's and Arabs is reached and the great debate about borders of the nation is finally laid to rest, Israeli political violence will decline dramatically. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER provides an incisive and extensively researched historical perspective on Israeli politics and opens a new chapter in our understanding of one of the world's most fascinating nations.

Book Synopsis Yitzhak Rabin by : Itamar Rabinovich
Download or read book Yitzhak Rabin written by Itamar Rabinovich and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-05 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider’s perspective on the life and influence of Israel’s first native-born prime minister, his bold peace initiatives, and his tragic assassination More than two decades have passed since prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination in 1995, yet he remains an unusually intriguing and admired modern leader. A native-born Israeli, Rabin became an inextricable part of his nation’s pre-state history and subsequent evolution. This revealing account of his life, character, and contributions draws not only on original research but also on the author’s recollections as one of Rabin’s closest aides. An awkward politician who became a statesman, a soldier who became a peacemaker, Rabin is best remembered for his valiant efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for the Oslo Accords. Itamar Rabinovich provides extraordinary new insights into Rabin’s relationships with powerful leaders including Bill Clinton, Jordan’s King Hussein, and Henry Kissinger, his desire for an Israeli-Syrian peace plan, and the political developments that shaped his tenure. The author also assesses the repercussions of Rabin’s murder: Netanyahu’s ensuing election and the rise of Israel’s radical right wing.
Book Synopsis The Last Days of Israel by : Barry Chamish
Download or read book The Last Days of Israel written by Barry Chamish and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2000 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Barry Chamish is changing Israel's perspective as no other journalist in his field. His previous books: 'Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin', 'Traitors and Carpetbaggers in the Promised Land', and 'Israel Betrayed' have documented Israeli leadership controlled by dangerous, secretive European and American power brokers, using murder to push "peace" down an unwilling Israeli public's throat. His research has been accepted in Israel and worldwide. Chamish's Hebrew work has climbed to the top of the Israeli bestsellers lists, while his editions in English, Spanish, French, Russian, and German are impacting readers on 3 continents. In 'The Last Days of Israel', Chamish goes farther than ever before. He names names. He identifies Israel's hidden enemies and shows readers who really murdered Rabin. This book puts all of his previous research into highly focused perspective. When widely understood, this perspective has the potential of saving Israel. This book is a powerful tool for Israel's defense." -- from the cover

Book Synopsis Zealotry and Vengeance by : Samuel Peleg
Download or read book Zealotry and Vengeance written by Samuel Peleg and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 4, 1995 the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin left Israeli society shocked and bewildered by the reemergence of religiously motivated political violence in an age of secularism. In Zealotry and Vengeance Samuel Peleg analyzes the social, political, and structural motivations and conditions that have encouraged this resurgence of religious violence. It profiles the rise of the Zionist messianic movement from protest and activism to assassination, and asks whether the killing of Rabin was a fluke or a harbinger of things to come--based on Israeli society's extensive support for the proclivity to violence. The book provides students of political behavior and participation with both a scientific study of the extremist state of mind and an acute analysis of the cycle of violence and tolerance threatening to once again engulf the Middle East.

Book Synopsis Religious Zionism and the Settlement Project by : Moshe Hellinger
Download or read book Religious Zionism and the Settlement Project written by Moshe Hellinger and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth account of the ideology driving Israels religious Zionist settler movements since the 1970s. The Jewish settlements in disputed territories are among the most contentious issues in Israeli and international politics. This book delves into the ideological and rabbinic discourses of the religious Zionists who founded the settlement movement and lead it to this day. Based on Hebrew primary sources seldom available to scholars and the public, Moshe Hellinger, Isaac Hershkowitz, and Bernard Susser provide an authoritative history of the settlement project. They examine the first attempts at settling in the 1970s, the evacuation of Sinai in the 1980s, the Oslo Accords and assassination of Yitzhak Rabin in the 1990s, and the withdrawal from Gaza and the reaction of radical settler groups in the 2000s. The authors question why the evacuation of settlements led to largely theatrical opposition, without mass violence or civil war. They show that for religious Zionists, a theological-normative balance undermined their will to resist aggressively because of a deep veneration for the state as the sacred vehicle of redemption. This is a well-written book of sound scholarship that makes an important contribution to the research on settlers rabbis. The authors refute popular arguments that condemn the rabbis as radicals, instead showing how complex is their worldview.

Book Synopsis Political Assassinations by Jews by : Nachman Ben-Yehuda
Download or read book Political Assassinations by Jews written by Nachman Ben-Yehuda and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben-Yehuda presents an in-depth inquiry into the nature and patterns of political assassinations and executions by Jews in Palestine and Israel. Extensive empirical evidence is used to analyze the social construction of violent and aggressive human behavior, using a sociology of deviance perspective. Political assassinations and executions are placed within their particular cultural matrix to describe how this specific form of killing has been conceptualized as part of an alternative system of justice. "The taking of a human life is generally regarded as the ultimate evil. Given this fact, it is important to examine and understand how it is explained, justified, and cloaked in a 'vocabulary of motives.' Such acts are, in the author's words, 'socially constructed and interpreted,' dependent on the observer's location in a specific 'symbolic-moral universe.'Moreover, such acts (political assassination specifically) are manifestations of struggles that represent attempts to legitimate these world-views, rhetorical devices that serve to define 'boundary-markers' between such universes — moral crusades that attempt to validate one view vis-a-vis another. This general approach to political assassinations is original. Its application to assassinations by Israelis is original. The fact that the book is empirical marks it off from many speculations on the subject. A number of the author's findings make a distinct contribution.
