The State of Israel: Creation, Conflict, and Control is a sweeping, unflinching history of one of the modern world's most contested nations. Spanning more than a century-from the birth of Zionism in 19th-century Europe to the wars, uprisings, and politics of the 21st-it traces how a people's dream of refuge became a machinery of domination, and how ideals forged in trauma evolved into the architecture of control. Drawing on leading historians, declassified records, and human rights investigations, the book examines Israel not through myth but through power-who holds it, how it's justified, and...
The State of Israel: Creation, Conflict, and Control is a sweeping, unflinching history of one of the modern world's most contested nations. Spanning more than a century-from the birth of Zionism in 19th-century Europe to the wars, uprisings, and politics of the 21st-it traces how a people's dream of refuge became a machinery of domination, and how ideals forged in trauma evolved into the architecture of control. Drawing on leading historians, declassified records, and human rights investigations, the book examines Israel not through myth but through power-who holds it, how it's justified, and what it costs. Each chapter explores a decisive moment-the Balfour Declaration, the Holocaust's aftermath, the Nakba, the Six-Day War, Oslo, the Intifadas, Gaza-revealing how events often described as accidents of history were, in fact, the logical outcomes of a system sustained by fear and force. It begins with The Zionist Dream, the movement to transform Jewish suffering into sovereignty. What began as liberation quickly became colonization. By 1948: Birth Amidst Bloodshed, the dream of refuge had become a revolution of displacement: a homeland for some, a catastrophe for others. From the 1967 occupation to the rise of settlements, from Lebanon to the walls of the West Bank, the book follows how occupation evolved from emergency to ideology. Through chapters like Propaganda and Perception and The Mossad Doctrine, it reveals Israel's mastery of narrative-its ability to present dominance as defense and violence as virtue.
