A leading genocide scholar explores the history of Zionism, Israel's lurch towards extreme oppression and violence, and why it stands accused of crimes against humanity
Professor Omer Bartov was born on a kibbutz, grew up in Tel Aviv and served in the Israel Defence Forces during the Yom Kippur War. He went on to become an expert on the German army and the Holocaust, before turning his attention to his native country.
In Israel- What Went Wrong?, Bartov explores the transformation of Zionism from a movement of Jewish emancipation and liberation into a state ideology of ethno-nationalism, exclusion and violent domination of Palestinians. He traces the process whereby Israel - whose establishment received international support in the aftermath of the Holocaust - stands accused of war crimes and genocide.
Less than eight decades after its founding in 1948 - the year in which the UN Genocide Convention was adopted in response to Nazi crimes - Bartov argues that, for the past two years, the Jewish state was engaged in a genocidal undertaking in Gaza. What are the implications of Israel's near total impunity for the post-1945 regime of international law? And how do we understand the widespread support for these policies by Israel's Jewish citizens?
Eye-opening and urgent, Israel- What Went Wrong? is a powerful and vital primer for anyone trying to understand this century's most violent and devastating conflict.
