Book Description
New Introduction by Norton Mezvinsky
"Shahak is a very brave man who should be honored for his services to humanity ... [He is] one of the most remarkable individuals in the contemporary Middle East." -- Edward Said
"An outstanding scholar, with remarkable insight and depth of knowledge. His work is informed and penetrating, a contribution of great value." -- Noam Chomsky
This is a new edition of a classic and highly controversial book that examines the history and consequences of Jewish fundamentalism in Israel. Fully updated throughout, with new chapters and a new introduction by Norton Mezvinsky, it is essential reading for anyone who wants a full understanding of the way religious extremism has affected the political development of the modern Israeli state.
Acclaimed writer and human rights campaigner Israel Shahak was, up until his death in 2001, one of the most respected of Israel's peace activists -- he was, in the words of Gore Vidal, 'the latest -- if not the last -- of the great prophets.' Written by Shahak together with American scholar Norton Mezvinsky, this book shows how Jewish fundamentalism in Israel, as shown in the activities of religious settlers, is of great political importance.
The authors trace the history and development of Jewish fundamentalism, examining the various different strains, and they identify the messianic tendency as the most dangerous. Shahak and Mezvinsky place the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin in the context of what they see as a tradition of punishments and killings of those Jews perceived to be heretics.
They conclude that Jewish fundamentalism is essentially hostile to democracy because it opposes equality for all citizens, and therefore it poses a considerable threat to democracy in Israel.
