Description: The Unmaking of Israel by Gershom Gorenberg Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Argues that Israels current policies are undermining its democracy and its existence as a Jewish state, revealing what needs to be done--separating state from religion and creating a new civil Israeli identity that can be shared by Jews and Arabs--to bring the country back from the brink. Publisher Description "An indispensable, closely argued, and conditionally apocalyptic book. . . . Gorenberg tells us that the Israel of the mainstream American, Leon Uris-influenced imagination is not the Israel of todays reality. The Israel of today is rampant with illiberal feeling. . . . Gorenberg outlines many reasonable steps Israel should take to disentangle religion from the state." --Jeffrey Goldberg, New York Times Book ReviewProminent Israeli journalist Gershom Gorenberg offers a penetrating and provocative look at how the balance of power in Israel has shifted toward extremism, threatening the prospects for peace and democracyIn this penetrating and provocative look at the state of contemporary Israel, acclaimed Israeli historian and journalist Gershom Gorenberg reveals how the nations policies are undermining its democracy and existence as a Jewish state, and explains what must be done to bring it back from the brink. Refuting shrill defenses of Israel and equally strident attacks, Gorenberg shows that the Jewish state is, in fact, unique among countries born in the postcolonial era: it began as a parliamentary democracy and has remained one. Yet shortsighted policies, unintended consequences, and its refusal to heed warnings now threaten its many accomplishments.Based on groundbreaking historical research and a quarter century of experience reporting in the region, The Unmaking of Israel is a brilliant, deeply personal critique by a progressive Israeli, and a plea for realizing the nations potential. Author Biography Gershom Gorenberg has written for The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and, in Hebrew, Haaretz.
