Journalist and award-winning author Matti Friedman’s masterfully told and meticulously

researched tale of Israel’s first spies reads like an espionage novel—but it’s all true.

Spies of No Country is about the slippery identities of these spies, but it’s also about

the complicated identity of Israel, a country that presents itself as Western but in fact

has more citizens with Middle Eastern roots, just like the spies of this fascinating

narrative.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Award-winning writer Matti Friedman's tale of Israel's first spies has all the tropes of an espionage novel, including duplicity, betrayal, disguise, clandestine meetings, the bluff, and the double bluff - but it's all true.

The four spies at the center of this story were part of a ragtag unit known as the Arab Section, conceived during World War II by British spies and Jewish militia leaders in Palestine. Intended to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage and assassinations, the unit consisted of Jews who were native to the Arab world and could thus easily assume Arab identities. In 1948, with Israel's existence in the balance during the War of Independence, our spies went undercover in Beirut, where they spent the next two years operating out of a kiosk, collecting intelligence, and sending messages back to Israel via a radio whose antenna was disguised as a clothesline. While performing their dangerous work these men were often unsure to whom they were reporting, and sometimes even who they'd become. Of the dozen spies in the Arab Section at the war's outbreak, five were caught and executed. But in the end the Arab Section would emerge, improbably, as the nucleus of the Mossad, Israel's vaunted intelligence agency.

More than twenty years ago, in the midst of widespread violence in Israel and

Palestine, a group of Israeli and Palestinian teachers gathered to address what, to

many people, seemed an unbridgeable gulf between the two societies.... The result is

a riveting and unprecedented “dual narrative” of Israeli and Palestinian history. Side by Side comprises the history of two peoples, in separate narratives set literally side by side, so that readers can track each against the other, noting both where they differ as well as where they correspond.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A groundbreaking "dual narrative" history of Israel and Palestine which offers a new paradigm for the teaching of history in conflict and post-conflict situations

"The battle lines of the Israel-Palestinian conflict extend to the classroom, where the two sides' versions of their shared history diverge sharply. Now, two university professors aim to change the way the conflict is taught by exposing Palestinian students to Israeli history lessons and Israeli students to the Palestinian version of history." - USA Today

More than twenty years ago, in the midst of widespread violence in Israel and Palestine, a group of Israeli and Palestinian teachers gathered to address what, to many people, seemed an unbridgeable gulf between the two societies. Struck by how different the standard Israeli and Palestinian textbook histories of the same events were from one another-whether of the Balfour Declaration or the 1967 War-they began to explore how a new understanding of history itself might open up different kinds of dialogue in an increasingly hostile climate. Their express goal was to "disarm" the teaching of Middle East history in Israeli and Palestinian classrooms.

The result is a riveting and unprecedented "dual narrative" of Israeli and Palestinian history. Side by Side comprises the history of two peoples, in separate narratives set literally side by side, so that readers can track each against the other, noting both where they differ as well as where they correspond. This unique and fascinating format, translated into English from Arabic and Hebrew, reveals surprising juxtapositions and allows readers to consider and process the very different viewpoints and logic of each side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

An eye-opening-and inspiring-new approach to thinking about one of the world's most deeply entrenched conflicts, Side by Side is a now classic book that offers to its readers a way to discuss and perhaps help find a bridge to peace in the Middle East.

Capturing the frustrations, cabin fever, and downright misery of her experiences, Amiry writes with elegance and humor about the enormous difficulty of moving from one place to another, the torture of falling in love with someone from another town, the absurdity of her dog receiving a Jerusalem identity card when thousands of Palestinians could not, and the trials of

In 1967, Bashir Khairi, a twenty-five-year-old Palestinian, journeyed to Israel with the

goal of seeing the beloved stone house with the lemon tree behind it that he and his

family had fled nineteen years earlier. To his surprise, when he found the house he was

greeted by Dalia Eshkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student, whose

family left fled Europe for Israel following the Holocaust. On the stoop of their shared

home, Dalia and Bashir began a rare friendship, forged in the aftermath of war and

tested over the next half-century in ways that neither could imagine on that summer

day in 1967.

Rav Soloveitchik grapples with the enormity of the Shoah and the miracle of the

founding of the State of Israel and what our responses should be to both. He contrasts

a life of fate, where one is an object, with the life of destiny, where one is the subject

and acts. We ask not about the reason for evil and its purpose, but rather about its

rectification and uplifting. How should a person react in a time of distress? What should

a person do so as not to rot in his affliction? We can not try to explain the irrational

hatred that prevailed in the world between 1935 and 1945, nor should we assign

blame within. We must focus instead on what we can learn from that fearsome time.

Born from the ashes of genocide and a long history of suffering, Israel was conceived

to be unique, a model society and the heart of a prosperous new Middle East. It is this

paradox, says historian Michael Brenner--the Jewish people's wish for a homeland both

normal and exceptional―that shapes Israel's ongoing struggle to define itself and

secure a place among nations. In Search of Israel is a major new history of this struggle

from the late nineteenth century to our time.

As a child, our nameless antihero has big shoes to fill, having grown up with the myth

of a grandfather who died fighting the Zionists in 1948, and with a father who was

jailed for blowing up a school cafeteria in the name of freedom. When he is granted a

scholarship to an elite Jewish boarding school, his family rejoices. But to their dismay,

he turns out to be a coward devoid of any national pride; his only ambition is to fit in

with his Jewish peers who reject him. With refreshing candor and self-deprecating wit,

Dancing Arabs brilliantly maps one man's struggle to disentangle his personal and

national identities, only to tragically and inevitably forfeit both.

Since the Six-Day War, Israelis have been entrenched in a national debate over whether

to keep the land they conquered or to return some, if not all, of the territories to

Palestinians. In 2017, best-selling Israeli author Micah Goodman published a balanced

and insightful analysis of the situation that quickly became one of Israel’s most debated

books of the year. Now available in English translation with a new preface by the

author, Catch-67 deftly sheds light on the ideas that have shaped Israelis’ thinking on

both sides of the debate, and among secular and religious Jews about the Israeli-

Palestinian conflict.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Israel has long occupied a prominent place in the lives and imaginations of American Jews, serving as both a symbolic touchstone and a source of intercommunal conflict. In

This work sheds light on the perception of Israel in the minds of Jewish children in the US and provides a rich case study of how children more generally develop ideas and beliefs about self, community, nation, and world. In contrast to popular views of America's youth as naive or uninterested, this book illuminates both the complexity of their thinking and their desire to be included in conversations about important civic and political matters. Zakai draws from compelling empirical data to prove that children spend considerable effort contemplating the very concepts that adults often assume they are not ready to discuss. Indeed, the book argues that over the course of their elementary school education, children develop and express deep interest in complex issues such as the intricacies of identity and belonging, conflicting ways of framing the past, and the demands of civic responsibility. Ultimately, Zakai argues that in order to take children's ideas seriously and better prepare them for a world full of disagreement, a substantive shift in educational practices is necessary.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
New York Times bestseller

Now with a new Epilogue, containing letters of response from Palestinian readers.

"A profound and original book, the work of a gifted thinker."--Daphne Merkin, The Wall Street Journal

Attempting to break the agonizing impasse between Israelis and Palestinians, the Israeli commentator and award-winning author of Like Dreamers directly addresses his Palestinian neighbors in this taut and provocative book, empathizing with Palestinian suffering and longing for reconciliation as he explores how the conflict looks through Israeli eyes.

I call you "neighbor" because I don't know your name, or anything personal about you. Given our circumstances, "neighbor" might be too casual a word to describe our relationship. We are intruders into each other's dream, violators of each other's sense of home. We are incarnations of each other's worst historical nightmares. Neighbors?

Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor is one Israeli's powerful attempt to reach beyond the wall that separates Israelis and Palestinians and into the hearts of "the enemy." In a series of letters, Yossi Klein Halevi explains what motivated him to leave his native New York in his twenties and move to Israel to participate in the drama of the renewal of a Jewish homeland, which he is committed to see succeed as a morally responsible, democratic state in the Middle East.

This is the first attempt by an Israeli author to directly address his Palestinian neighbors and describe how the conflict appears through Israeli eyes. Halevi untangles the ideological and emotional knot that has defined the conflict for nearly a century. In lyrical, evocative language, he unravels the complex strands of faith, pride, anger and anguish he feels as a Jew living in Israel, using history and personal experience as his guide.

Halevi's letters speak not only to his Palestinian neighbor, but to all concerned global citizens, helping us understand the painful choices confronting Israelis and Palestinians that will ultimately help determine the fate of the region.

"Powerful. . . . beautifully written . . . . There is much to admire . . . especially Mr. Halevi's skill at getting inside the hearts and minds of these seven men" -Ethan Bronner, New York Times , Like Dreamers is a nuanced, in-depth look at these diverse men and the conflicting beliefs that have helped to define modern Israel and the Middle East., starred review, starred review

Following the lives of seven young members from the 55th Paratroopers Reserve Brigade, the unit responsible for restoring Jewish sovereignty to Jerusalem during the 1967 Six Day War, acclaimed journalist Yossi Klein Halevi reveals how this band of brothers played pivotal roles in shaping Israel's destiny long after their historic victory. While they worked together to reunite their country in 1967, these men harbored drastically different visions for Israel's future.

One emerges at the forefront of the religious settlement movement, while another is instrumental in the 2005 unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. One becomes a driving force in the growth of Israel's capitalist economy, while another ardently defends the socialist kibbutzim. One is a leading peace activist, while another helps create an anti-Zionist terror underground in Damascus.

"A beautifully written and sometimes heartbreaking account of these men, their families, and their nation." -

"Halevi's book is executed with imagination, narrative drive, and, above all, deep empathy for a wide variety of Israelis, and the result is a must-read for anyone with an interest in contemporary Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. -

"Mr. Halevi's masterly book brings us into [the] . . . debate and the lives of those who live it." -Elliott Abrams,

Through bite-sized chunks of history and deeply personal stories, Tishby chronicles her homeland’s evolution, beginning in Biblical times and moving forward to cover everything from WWI to Israel’s creation to the disputes dividing the country today. Tackling popular misconceptions with an abundance of facts, Tishby provides critical context around headline-generating controversies and offers a clear, intimate account of the richly cultured country of Israel. Please note there are some curse words in this book

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Noa Tishby is a NY Times best-selling author and Israel's former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization.

A Tel Aviv native, Tishby served in the Israeli army before landing a starring role on the nation's highest-rated prime time drama. After becoming a household name in Israel and appearing in numerous TV shows, films, theater productions and fashion campaigns, Tishby moved to Los Angeles, where she sold the Israeli TV show "In Treatment" to HBO, which made history as the first Israeli TV show to become an American series. "In Treatment" was nominated for fourteen Emmy and Golden Globes and won a Peabody Award.

Noa has been a leader in pro-Israel activism for over a decade, co-founding and initiating several organizations and projects, including Act for Israel, Reality Israel and Eighteen: an institute to combat antisemitism and inspire Jewish pride.

Noa has been a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher and appeared on networks such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox and PBS. She also spoke at the Capitol for a Congressional Hearing on online antisemitism in her capacity as Israel's first Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism, and testified in front of the Committee on Ways and Means about the connection between campus antisemitism and terrorism financing, which was the catalyst for the catastrophic hearing of Harvard Penn and MIT presidents and the following resignation of Harvard's Gay and Penn's Magill. Tishby recently addressed members of Congress again in a hearing exposing gender-based violence of the October 7th massacre.

Tishby is the author of the New York Times bestseller Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth and is among the best known pro-Israel figures on social and legacy media, her content reaching millions of people daily across all platforms.

Tishby recently announced her second book: Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew, cowritten with NY Times best-selling author Emmanuel Acho, forthcoming from Simon Element, Simon & Schuster, April 30, 2024

Tishby resides in Los Angeles and she is a proud Jewish mother to her son Ari.

"...Tishby has become a dominant and provocative voice on a war that is being fought in the Middle East and also on television, social media, and American streets and college campuses.

She is the voice of this Jewish generation."
