Israel: Historia de Una Guerra Permanente - by Eduardo Olier Arenas (Paperback)

About the Book

"In the face of terrorist attacks, Israel, although it has the recognized right to defend itself, cannot find a way to act that guarantees the protection of civilians. Which brings us back to the Bible: "When a man strikes a pregnant woman in a fight between men... if there is injury, he shall pay life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, cardinal for cardinal" (Exodus 21: 22-25) zi Holocaust motivated the newly born UN to divide Palestine into two territories to locate there the Jews scattered throughout Europe. It was on November 29, 1947. Then, on May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was created. The Arabs of the surrounding countries did not accept it. Since then, wars have not ceased. Neither have the UN resolutions, which have been broken with great ease. Conflicts have always continued, awaiting the creation of a Palestinian state that is difficult to fit in. Israel is now a powerful state, technologically and militarily. With the wars, it has taken over almost all of Palestine, only the Gaza Strip remains outside. Terrorism, as almost always, dominates the situation, while the suffering Palestinian people, used by some and by others, awaits a solution that does not come. Eduardo Olier exposes in this book the reality, with the support of quotes from people who explain the movements until today and those that will take place in a future that seems closer every day. Why does nobody want a lasting peace? What geopolitical interests seek the chronification of a permanent one? The world is broken into two blocs. East versus West in decline and vice versa. With a Global South that has taken sides. The future of the world once again passes through Palestine, although not only, because the war in the Gaza Strip is the knot that connects this complex world."--
