El final de Israel
El 7 de octubre y la posterior invasión de Gaza por parte de Israel pusieron al descubierto las grietas de sus cimientos. Se reveló como un país incapaz de proteger a sus ciudadanos, dividido entre teócratas mesiánicos y sionistas liberales iluminados, resentido con sus vecinos y perdiendo el apoyo de los judíos de todo el mundo. Mientras sus líderes justifican campañas de bombardeos que superan las peores atrocidades de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Franja de Gaza se sumerge en una creciente catástrofe humanitaria, Israel se está convirtiendo en un Estado paria. Su peor enemigo no es Hamás, sino él mismo.
Para superar la idea del Estado judío, Ilan Pappé nos muestra un camino de justicia restaurativa y descolonización que incluye el retorno de los refugiados, el fin de los asentamientos y la imperiosa necesidad de tender puentes con el mundo árabe.

About the author
Ilan Pappé
104 books1,883 followersIlan Pappé is a professor with the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter in the UK, director of the university's European Centre for Palestine Studies, co-director of the Exeter Centre for Ethno-Political Studies, and political activist. He was formerly a senior lecturer in political science at the University of Haifa (1984–2007) and chair of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian and Israeli Studies in Haifa (2000–2008).
Pappé is one of Israel's "New Historians" who, since the release of pertinent British and Israeli government documents in the early 1980s, have been rewriting the history of Israel's creation in 1948, and the corresponding expulsion or flight of 700,000 Palestinians in the same year. He has written that the expulsions were not decided on an ad hoc basis, as other historians have argued, but constituted the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, in accordance with Plan Dalet, drawn up in 1947 by Israel's future leaders. He blames the creation of Israel for the lack of peace in the Middle East, arguing that Zionism is more dangerous than Islamic militancy, and has called for an international boycott of Israeli academics.
His work has been both supported and criticized by other historians. Before he left Israel in 2008, he had been condemned in the Knesset, Israel's parliament; a minister of education had called for him to be sacked; his photograph had appeared in a newspaper at the centre of a target; and he had received several death threats.

Un libro optimista alrededor de las microrrevoluciones que deben ocurrir para cerrar el capítulo de la historia del sionismo. No es una historia al uso del conflicto y del genocidio, sino un repaso por las debilidades del proyecto colonial de Israel, lo que el autor llama "Estado de Judea", y una llama de esperanza puesta en el movimiento nacional palestino en el proceso de construcción de un Estado democrático donde las identidades colectivas, nacionales, culturales o religiosas puedan coexistir en un espacio compartido.

La edición de Akal como de costumbre es horrible.
