إسرائيل .. كيان في حالة حرب مع نفسه

When Hamas launched its attack on October 7, Israel was already a divided society, a weak state marked by sharp internal contradictions and angry demonstrations against a government that divided the people. Since that attack, and with the increasing death toll in Gaza, internal contradictions and unrest have worsened. No Israeli was spared from this storm. How did Israel, which many admired 40-50 years ago, turn into the controversial state we see today? In this important and informative book, Sidsel-Wold explains the background to the deep lines of division. She meets religious and secular Israelis, settlers, hostage families, and politicians — citizens who dream of a very different future for the country — and asks the question: Will Israel survive this deep internal division? Because the greatest threat does not come from outside, but from the contradictions within the Israeli people themselves. “What is happening to an Israel that is increasingly isolated internationally and internally divided? ...More importantly, it makes us understand the pain behind what seems hateful and cruel.” "Sedsel-Wold guides us gracefully across a diverse landscape of religious and political contradictions... If the criterion is accuracy of facts and reliable reproduction of the stories of interviewees, then Sidsel-Wold stands firm in my opinion with her well-written and profound contribution to understanding the conflicts inherent in Israeli society."
