| book description |
I LEFT SOUTH AFRICA 37 YEARS AGO because I was a Zionist. More importantly, I could not live with Apartheid. Israel is not South Africa and Zionism is not Apartheid. But there are trends afoot that could lead Israel into a South African-type dilemma. Unless they are recognized and identified, and their consequences understood, Israel s slide into a discriminatory society is almost assured. Will Israeli society allow that to happen? That is an answer I need to first find for myself. Written by a respected Israeli journalist, Let Me Create a Paradise is a rivetingly personal exploration of the Jewish state s fundamental choice: democracy or territory? It is also very much Goodman s own story, told with humour and warmth: from his South African childhood, where he was schooled in the Zionist rhetoric of equality, social justice and democracy while watching black prisoners dig his older sister s swimming pool, to his idealistic flight to Israel, where he became an elite paratrooper, serving in the Six-Day War. Increasingly disturbed by the aggressive growth of tiny Jewish settlements and a brutalized Palestinian people, Goodman instead became an influential journalistone with an intimate knowledge of Israel s troubles and triumphs. From accounts at the frontlines to a behind-the-scenes look at peace summits with Sharon, Arafat, Sadat, Netanyahu, Rabin and Barak, Goodman brings a reasoned, human voice to a volatile, seemingly insolvable conflict.""

This first comprehensive biography of Cecil Rhodes in a generation illuminates Rhodes’s vision for the expansion of imperialism in southern Africa, connecting politics and industry to internal development, and examines how this fueled a lasting, white-dominated colonial society.
