In Goliath, New York Times bestselling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens.
Beginning with the national elections carried out during Israel’s war on Gaza in 2008-09, which brought into power the country’s most right-wing government to date, Blumenthal tells the story of Israel in the wake of the collapse of the Oslo peace process.
As Blumenthal reveals, Israel has become a country where right-wing leaders like Avigdor Lieberman and Bibi Netanyahu are sacrificing democracy on the altar of their power politics; where the loyal opposition largely and passively stands aside and watches the organized assault on civil liberties; where state-funded Orthodox rabbis publish books that provide instructions on how and when to kill Gentiles; where half of Jewish youth declare their refusal to sit in a classroom with an Arab; and where mob violence targets Palestinians and African asylum seekers scapegoated by leading government officials as “demographic threats.”
Immersing himself like few other journalists inside the world of hardline political leaders and movements, Blumenthal interviews the demagogues and divas in their homes, in the Knesset, and in the watering holes where their young acolytes hang out, and speaks with those political leaders behind the organized assault on civil liberties. As his journey deepens, he painstakingly reports on the occupied Palestinians challenging schemes of demographic separation through unarmed protest. He talks at length to the leaders and youth of Palestinian society inside Israel now targeted by security service dragnets and legislation suppressing their speech, and provides in-depth reporting on the small band of Jewish Israeli dissidents who have shaken off a conformist mindset that permeates the media, schools, and the military.
Through his far-ranging travels, Blumenthal illuminates the present by uncovering the ghosts of the past—the histories of Palestinian neighborhoods and villages now gone and forgotten; how that history has set the stage for the current crisis of Israeli society; and how the Holocaust has been turned into justification for occupation.
A brave and unflinching account of the real facts on the ground, Goliath is an unprecedented and compelling work of journalism.

Thank you for this.
Hopefully the apartheid state will end soon

I’ve never understood why the Palestinian people are being held responsible for the crimes of the Nazis. But then there’s a lot of things I don’t understand. I don’t understand why the U.S. gives Israel $3.8 billion every year with no strings attached. I guess that’s how they’re able to afford all those shiny new bulldozers they use to rip down Palestinian towns and steal private property from those fiendish P’s who had the unmitigated gall to occupy the land that Israel (and Britain) wanted for the Jews.

The Zionists hate it when excellent works like this come out :-) don’t get me wrong the old classics are great and also relevant, but nothing like fresh ammo, destroying sections of the apartheid, judeo- fascist State (leeching off amerikkka to survive), it’s crumbling before our eyes and it won’t be long, people all across the world are (finally) waking up.
Zionist Israel commits War Crimes every day, we all know that, far too well … a reckoning is due! Let’s just hope the Zionists don’t press the nuke button, which of course they don’t have (Dimona, Vanunu Mordechai etc.) and of course unlike Iran they don’t have to let International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors see anything, because? … oh yeah Zionist Israeli Exceptionalism) hypocrites, liars, thieves, murderers.
You’re Welcome
