Add to basketIn this thoroughly researched and compelling book, Jacob Mosak celebrates the epic rebirth of the Jewish State of Israel within its ancient national and religious homeland and explores its history against a backdrop of anti-Semitism and political sabotage.
Mosak contends that the reason why the Arab-Israeli conflict has endured for so long is the Arabs' refusal to recognize the legitimacy of the Jewish State, and he reminds readers that even the Koran recognizes Jerusalem as the location of the Jewish Holy Temples. He also maintains that the Jewish people's right to statehood in Palestine is not predicated upon their suffering in the Holocaust but rather on their enduring historical and religious ties to the land of Israel. The book points out that Jewish life in Palestine continued uninterrupted until the modern era, nearly two thousand years after the destruction of the second Holy Temple.
Mosak's account of the complex geopolitical history of the birth of Israel covers the period from the 1917 Balfour Declaration through the Six-Day War in 1967. The book details the British Mandate administration's support of Arab violence and military campaigns against the Jews in the years leading up to 1948 and describes the fascinating behind-the-scenes struggles that raged between pro- and anti-Zionist factions within the United States and British governments. Mosak identifies Soviet military support for the Arab nations in the 1960s as a significant factor in bringing about the Six-Day War.
With a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago and decades of experience in economic research, policy, and development as chief economist at the United Nations, Mosak, who died in 2013 at the age of ninety-nine, was ideally positioned to analyze the contours of this conflict.
Independence: The State of Israel and the Arab-Israeli Conflict is an unforgettable exploration of the rebirth of modern-day Israel-the fulfillment of the Jewish people's ancient yearning for a return to Zion.
