Hamas against Israel - The Myths, The Propaganda, The Truth
Omschrijving
Ernesto Katzenstein, himself with Jewish roots, has undertaken a meticulous research into and analysis of the reporting of what took place and what allegedly took place in Israel on October 7. His analysis and deconstruction of the events shows, with clear source references, that the picture presented in needs to be be modified in many respects.
Also presented here is the objective historical background, an analysis of the motives and goals of both sides, as well as a discussion on language as a prison and a trap.
Among the book's many appendices are the current programs of both Hamas and the Israeli Likud Party, a description of the Dahiya and Hannibal doctrines, as well as a thorough review of source-critical principles.
The book focuses on the conflict in the Middle East, but its conclusions and lessons are applicable to other major political issues.
This is a book for anyone interested in international politics, and the effects of propaganda and how to see beyond the propaganda.
