The question Can Israel survive?" has echoed loud for Israelis-and Jews, their supporters and adversaries worldwide-since the Holocaust. The recent upheavals in Egypt, Tunisia and beyond have raised it anew. Israeli journalist and security analyst Hirsh Goodman set out to answer it, through rigorous factual assessment of each of the challenges his country faces, and by consulting experts and participants on all sides of every complex issue. But what he learned was that this once essential question' has become a dangerous distraction. In this provocative and deeply informed book, Goodman shares his clarifying analyses both of recent political events and of Israel's strategic position. He shows how the country's obsession with dangers posed by outside forces has obscured the harder issues facing it from within ever since its leaders disregarded Ben Gurion's advice to leave the territories captured during the Six Day War. By yoking itself to the demographic timebomb of the West Bank and Gaza, Israel propelled itself towards an invidious choice: democracy or Jewish identity. Now, Goodman argues, Israel's survival is jeopardized more by the competence of its leaders and fissures in its social and political system than by any outside threat-even the apocalyptic-sounding ones from Iran.

I LEFT SOUTH AFRICA 37 YEARS AGO because I was a Zionist. More importantly, I could not live with Apartheid. Israel is not South Africa and Zionism is not Apartheid. But there are trends afoot that could lead Israel into a South African-type dilemma. Unless they are recognized and identified, and their consequences understood, Israel’s slide into a discriminatory society is almost assured. Will Israeli society allow that to happen? That is an answer I need to first find for myself.Written by a respected Israeli journalist, Let Me Create a Paradise is a rivetingly personal exploration of the Jewish state’s fundamental choice: democracy or territory? It is also very much Goodman’s own story, told with humour and warmth: from his South African childhood, where he was schooled in the Zionist rhetoric of equality, social justice and democracy while watching black prisoners dig his older sister’s swimming pool, to his idealistic flight to Israel, where he became an elite paratrooper, serving in the Six-Day War. Increasingly disturbed by the aggressive growth of tiny Jewish settlements and a brutalized Palestinian people, Goodman instead became an influential journalist—one with an intimate knowledge of Israel’s troubles and triumphs. From accounts at the frontlines to a behind-the-scenes look at peace summits with Sharon, Arafat, Sadat, Netanyahu, Rabin and Barak, Goodman brings a reasoned, human voice to a volatile, seemingly insolvable conflict., Hardcover, Format: International Edition, Label: HarperCollins Publishers, HarperCollins Publishers, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2005-03-07, Freigegeben: 2005-03-07, Studio: HarperCollins Publishers, Verkaufsrang: 15847867.
