Blood and Religion: The unmasking of the Jewish and democratic state by Jonathan Cook
What has Israel been hoping to achieve with its disengagement from Gaza and the building of a 700km wall across the West Bank? Reporter Jonathan Cook argues that at the heart of Israel’s concerns is the issue of demography. To avert the moment when the region's Palestinians - Israel's own Palestinian citizens and those in the Occupied Territories - become a majority, Israel has started to establish a series of ghettoes masquerading as a Palestinian state to salvage its own ‘Jewish and democratic’ credentials.
Occupied Minds: A journey through the Israeli psyche by Arthur Neslen
Israel's founders sought to create a nation of new Jews who would never again go meekly to the death camps. Yet Israel's strength has become synonymous with an oppression of the Palestinians that provokes anger throughout the Muslim world and beyond. How are Israelis able to see themselves as victims while victimising others? What does Israeli Jewish identity mean today?
