DESCRIPTION:
In this remarkable book, veteran scholar and human rights campaigner Shahak exposes Israel's strategic foreign policy as it really is. Drawing solely on the Hebrew press, and working very much as an insider in the country, Shahak reveals that what Israeli Jews are told about their country's foreign policy through the national media is entirely inconsistent with what the Israeli government is telling the rest of the world. He demonstrates that, with the support of the US-Jewish lobby, Israel is conducting a covert policy of expansionism and aims to gain political control, not just of Palestine, but of virtually the entire Middle East. With a foreword by Christopher Hitchens.
"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
