The eminent historian Saul Friedl?nder began a diary of Israeli politics in January 2023 as the country was convulsed by protests against Netanyahu's attempt to overhaul the judiciary. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against this threat to democracy. But the protests said nothing about the Palestinian question--the \"elephant in the room,\" according to Friedl?nder, who resumed his diary after Hamas's 7 October assault on southern Israel. Israel was facing one of the worst crises in its history, he observes, under the worst possible internal conditions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFriedl?nder weaves together profound reflections on a national history in which he has been an active participant. He describes how Prime Minister Golda Meir once flatly declared to him, \"There is no Palestinian people.\" For Friedl?nder, on the other hand, the fight for democracy is inseparable from equality of treatment for Arab and Jewish citizens and an end to Israeli domination over Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. He argues that despite the continuing bloodshed, a two-state solution remains the only long-term answer to this most intractable of conflicts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804296783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Saul Friedl\u0026#195;\u0026#164;nder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431975579829,"sku":"9781804296783","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a391a508-ef36-4f16-abbf-9c72522109d2.jpg?v=1721139165","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/diary-of-a-crisis-israel-in-turmoil-9781804296783","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
