22. Why I Hate Israel

Editorial Review

Product Description
“Shocking!!But a very important book especially in light of War on Terrorism!”

Why I HATE ISRAEL:A CANDID ACCOUNT is a fresh look at the Jewish-Arabic Conflict in light of current trends in human rights laws and ethics.Priya Gandhi-Ganesh is particularly insightful in identifying troubling elements that are impediments to peace and human progress in the Middle East and on the global scene.

Gandhi-Ganesh effortlessly draws together examples and anecdotes to highlight her points.At the end of the book, the reader will most likely find herself empathizing with Gandhi-Ganesh’s sentiments.Even if the readers does not, she will certainly feel more enlightened about the realities of the Jewish-Arabic Conflict in today’s Post-September 11th World.

Perhaps, the most refreshing aspect of this book is the explicitly stated position that the author hates Israel.Gandhi-Ganesh argues from Hinduism, Christianity, International Human Rights, and ethics why her hatred is justified and even encouraged.

This book is certainly among the most important books on the Middle East to come out of the new century.

Those with a general interest in terrorism and Middle East conflicts will find this book helpful.High schools and colleges can use this book for discussions on ethics, the current situation/events, politics, international relations, and America’s place in the world.Thus, this book is excellent for general reading as well as in educational/school settings.

5-0 out of 5 stars Occupied (System of) Justice
Could a just legal system endure over 35 years of occupation? David Kretzmer - who examines in this book the jurisprudence of the Israeli Supreme Court relating the territories occupied by Israel since 1967 - is leaving the reader to answer this question. Through this fascinating book, though, he gives a detailed and careful discussion of the legal decisions regarding petitions that challenged policies and actions by the authorities and exhibits through them the way this court operates. Kretzmer shows that the Court has ruled not only contrary to the international law - by approving deportations, house demolitions, and actually legitimizing the Israeli settlements policy - but also contrary to its own interpretation principle. This principle gives presumption to individual human rights when they clash with the authorities' power to restrict them. Contrary to that, the Court's decisions relating to the Occupied Territories are government-minded.

In the first part of the book, Kretzmer gives a clear theoretical and legal basis, by explaining the substantive norms atwork in the Supreme Court, distinguishing between jurisdiction and justiciability and and shedding light on the question ofapplicability of international law to the Occupied Territories. In the second part, he discusses the Court's decisions relating to two major political issues: establishment of Israeli settlements and the status of Palestinian residents of those territories. The third part examines the manner the Court has handled petitions challenging security measures against Palestinian residents - house demolitions, deportations, limitations on personal liberty and more.

Kretzmer - a professor of international law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Vice-Chairperson of the United Nations Human Rights Committee - is far from being simplistic. In his work, he keeps the professional and careful job of an academic jurist and let it speak for itself. He withdraws from popular (and political) sweeping arguments, and concentrates on careful examination of the judicial decisions themselves, in light of the norms that the same Court has undertook to apply. He draws a distinction between substantive matters, in which the court indeed failed to intervene, and the procedural constraints on the use of governmental powers, which the Court made an effort to strengthen. He sees the difference between judges being independent and being neutral. The latter is impossible when it has to do not with dispute between authorities and individuals, but between the first and what is perceived to be involving an attack on the very authority and interests of the state itself, by its enemies. He draws his conclusions in his discreet and understatement way, which shows very effectively how Israel occupies not only land and persons, but also the justice system itself. ... Read more
