Description
Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel is a thought-provoking exploration of Israeli society under the increasing strain of authoritarian politics. Max Blumenthal's book delves into the country's transformation since the collapse of the Oslo peace process, revealing a society where democracy is being sacrificed for power and where civil liberties are under attack.
Blumenthal's journey takes him deep into the world of hardline political leaders and movements, where he interviews demagogues and divas, and reports on the occupied Palestinians challenging schemes of demographic separation through unarmed protest. This book provides a stark portrait of a country where mob violence targets Palestinians and African asylum seekers, and where the loyal opposition largely stands aside.
With meticulous reporting and a keen eye for detail, Blumenthal paints a picture of a society in crisis, where the rule of law is being eroded and the rights of its citizens are being denied. This is a book that will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
