Description

Israel Awakened provides a riveting account of the war that erupted in September 2000 from the misnamed "peace process." Interweaving incisive commentary on daily events with a rich tapestry of 20th century history and Biblical references, Eugene Narrett brings the situation to life, explains its gestation and likely outcome. Scholars comment that "his scintillating analysis is an invaluable resource" that "should be required reading." Israel Awakened chronicles three intertwined developments of great urgency for Israel and the world. Firstly, it examines the strange and eventful election campaign of Ehud Barak vs. Ariel Sharon. Secondly, it examines the inevitable approach and violent methods of the Oslo War that set the terms for the campaign and that exposed the false premises and seductive promises of the "peace process." Thirdly, Israel Awakened analyzes the trouncing Israelis gave Barak at the polls on February 06, 2001 and the baffling results. Although they repudiated the policies of Oslo by an unprecedented margin, government policies were slow to change in response to steadily escalating Arab assaults. By Passover 2001, these attacks had become common on Israeli civilians and towns throughout Israel. Why the inertia, even from supposed hawk, Ariel Sharon? Professor Narrett gathers the three narrative strands of this groundbreaking study to highlight the crises that have challenged Israel during its difficult resurrection over the past century. What kind of a State will it be? Will democracy and consumerism rule, or will its main emphasis be to affirm, practice, and celebrate Jewish identity? Divided, avoiding a definitive answer and drifting mainly with the first option, Israel's chronic conflicts about its boundaries reflect not only the animosity of its neighbors and the designs of world powers but a crisis of identity and purpose. Carefully, lovingly examining ongoing events in the light of history and Torah, Professor Narrett shows that peace results from knowing and insisting on who you are, not by signing treaties, staging photo opportunities, or receiving awards. By spring 2001, most Israelis had awakened to these truths and wanted their leaders to take-up and win the intensifying war of attrition against it. But its political and military leadership remained divided; many of them still trapped in the delusions of Camp David and Oslo. As Jeremiah said long ago, they continued to cry, "'peace, peace!' but there was no peace." "Insightful, scholarly and graced by literary style and originality," Israel Awakened examines these crises of identity and borders and points the way to dignity and joy for Israel and its proper relation to the world.
