Story
David Grossman, da sempre convinto sostenitore di una coesistenza tra Israele e Palestina, non si è mai sottratto dal commentare e analizzare la complessa relazione tra i due popoli. Questo libro raccoglie alcuni degli interventi più urgenti e militanti, in cui Grossman analizza la parabola politica di Israele, guardando con occhio critico alle azioni del governo e della classe dirigente del suo Paese: un Paese che gli appare oggi più vulnerabile che mai, per colpa delle correnti estremiste e della decadenza di quei valori democratici che lo rendevano uno stato davvero ebraico.

The Middle East today is characterized by an astonishingly bloody civil war in Syria, a highly racialized and militarized approach to the concept of a Jewish state in Israel and the Palestinian territories, an Iraqi state paralyzed by the emergence of class- and region-inflected sectarian identifications, a Lebanon teetering on the edge of collapse from the pressures of its huge numbers of refugees and its sect-bound political system, and the rise of a wide variety of Islamist paramilitary organizations seeking to operate outside all these states.

Light in Gaza is a seminal, moving, and wide-ranging anthology of Palestinian writers and artists. It constitutes a collective effort to organize and center Palestinian voices in the ongoing struggle. As political discourse shifts toward futurism as a means of reimagining a better way of living, beyond the violence and limitations of colonialism, Light in Gaza is an urgent and powerful intervention into an important political moment.

Story
El complejo militar-industrial de Israel utiliza los territorios palestinos ocupados como campo de pruebas de armamento y tecnología de vigilancia que luego exporta por todo el mundo. Durante más de cincuenta años, la ocupación de Cisjordania y Gaza ha proporcionado al Estado israelí una experiencia inestimable en el control de una población "enemiga", perfeccionando cada vez más la arquitectura del control. El periodista Antony Loewenstein expone este asunto, en gran medida oculto, en una investigación global a partir de documentos secretos, entrevistas y reportajes sobre el terreno.

Story
Using Szold's copious letters, diaries, and essays, along with other archival documents, Francine Klagsbrun traces Szold's life and legacy with an eye to uncovering the person behind the Zionist icon. She reveals Szold as a complex human being who had to cope with controversy and criticism, a workaholic with an outsized sense of duty, and an idealist who fought for her beliefs even as she questioned her own abilities. With deep insight, Klagsbrun introduces listeners to this extraordinary woman, whose impact on women's lives as well as on education and health systems still resonates.

Story
The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader.

Story
Die Frage, wem das Heilige Land gehört, ist heute aktueller denn je. Die Debatten zu diesem Thema sind oft von Ignoranz und starken Emotionen geprägt, noch immer verstellen Parteilichkeit und Machtinteressen den Blick auf die politische Lage im Nahen Osten. In seinem unentbehrlichen Standardwerk wagt es Michael Wolffsohn, an überkommenen Mythen und Vorurteilen zu rütteln. Umfassend und gut verständlich erklärt er die historischen Wurzeln des Konflikts zwischen Juden und Arabern, der bis in die Gegenwart nichts von seiner Brisanz verloren hat.

Story
On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway—the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle-cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom.

Story
This book tells the stories of the Muslims, Christians, Jews and others who made a courageous stand against the mass slaughter of Ottoman Armenians in 1915, the first modern genocide. Foreigners and Ottomans alike ran considerable risks to bear witness and rescue victims, sometimes sacrificing their lives. Diplomats, humanitarians, missionaries, lawyers and other visitors to the Empire stood up, including Tolstoy's daughter, Alexandra; Raphael Lemkin, the jurist who first established genocide as an international crime; and the polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen.
