Israel and the Palestinians in a few words - Marco Travaglio

Description

2023 PaperFIRST

In the beginning it was the Diaspora of the Jews, expelled from their land by the Romans after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and dispersed throughout the world for 17 centuries. Then an infinite series of dominations and persecutions, until the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, when Zionism theorized and organized the return home. The Shoah does the rest, the extermination of 6 million Jews at the hands of Nazism. In 1947 the UN divided Transjordanian Palestine (smaller than Piedmont plus the Aosta Valley) into two states: one Jewish and one Arab-Palestinian. But only the first is born. The Arab ruling classes are playing the Palestinians, victims of the "brothers" as well as of the Israeli enemies, at the Russian roulette of wars (four) and terrorism. And they lose both wars and territories. Israel returns those occupied to the only Arab country that in 1978 agrees to recognize it and make peace: Egypt. Then in 1993 Arafat's PLO did so too with Israeli Prime Minister Rabin and hope was rekindled, immediately frustrated by Rabin's assassination by a fanatical Jew. Between ups and downs, violence and attacks, intertwined massacres, intertwined rights and wrongs, we arrive at the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza by the hawk Sharon. However, a stroke immediately puts him out of action, inaugurating the long and dark Netanyahu era. He sabotages the peace process with ever new Jewish settlements in the West Bank, even supports Hamas to weaken the moderate Abu Mazen and definitively puts Israel on the wrong side. In this book accessible to everyone, which can be read in one go like a novel, Marco Travaglio recounts the Israeli-Palestinian Hundred Years' War with synthesis and clarity, far from the opposing supporters of the Curva Sud. And it answers all the questions and all the doubts raised by the latest bloodbaths.
