Book description
"How are things here, you ask. Things here are past insane." In The End of Israel, acclaimed journalist Bradley Burston's dispatches for Haaretz newspaper trace the deep roots of the horrific Israel-Hamas war, exploring how the country could have chosen a different path, and possible options for its future.The columns detail the decline and sudden fall of a failed nation, which - even before the war erupted - had begun to question whether this year's Independence Day would be its last. An Israel where the delusional and the fanatic were sovereign. A land which, the biblical book of Numbers warns us, eats its inhabitants alive.Praise for The End of Israel: "Heschel wrote that the prophet's word is a scream in the night.While the world is at ease and asleep, the prophet feels the blastfrom Heaven."It's not just that Bradley Burston saw what only few others couldsee, it's that he found the courage to share it-urgently, honestly, relentlessly."Burston has been a voice of moral clarity for decades. If onlymore had listened... we might not be where we are today. And evenstill, he wouldn't stand for us giving up hope-and so the strugglegoes on."-Rabbi Sharon BrousAuthor of the forthcoming The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom toMend Our Broken Hearts and World"Bradley Burston has warned for years that Israeli Jews wouldnever be truly safe until Palestinians are free. Now Jewish safety andPalestinian freedom look further away than ever."Still, his essays don't counsel despair. They model wisdom, decency, and hope."-Peter BeinartAuthor, The Crisis of Zionism"Bradley Burston is 'the kind of person who loves Israel and hatesoccupation, ' in his own words about another Israeli. On every issueBurston touches, his passion for Israel, its beauty and potential andtragedy, bursts out of these pages."His writing reflects his fierce and intimate devotion to Israel, alongside unflinching observations about what's going wrong, andhow it could be better."Burston's collected works represent an essential warning cry, afine and complex tableau, and a roadmap to a better Israel."-Dr. Dahlia ScheindlinPolitical scientist and author of The Crooked Timber ofDemocracy in Israel (2023).
