The Hebrew Republic: How Secular Democracy and Global Enterprise Will Bring Israel Peace At Last Hardcover – Bargain Price, April 1, 2008

by Bernard Avishai (Author)

Purchase options and add-ons

Political economist Bernard Avishai has been writing and thinking about Israel since moving there to volunteer during the 1967 War. now he synthesizes his years of study and searching into a short, urgent polemic that posits that the country must become a more complete democracy if it has any chance for a peaceful future. He explores the connection between Israel’s democratic crisis and the problems besetting the nation—the expansion of settlements, the alienation of Israeli Arabs, and the exploding ultraorthodox population. He also makes an intriguing case for Israel’s new global enterprises to change the country’s future for the better.

With every year, peace in Israel seems to recede further into the distance, while Israeli arts and businesses advance. This contradiction cannot endure much longer. But in cutting through the inflammatory arguments of partisans on all sides, Avishai offers something even more enticing than pragmatic solutions—he offers hope.

Editorial Reviews

Review

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE HEBREW REPUBLIC

“During the past two decades, Avishai has emerged as one of the most eloquent and penetrating analysts of the Israeli scene . . . This volume can only add to Avishai’s reputation. It is indispensable reading even for veteran students of the Jewish state.” —Howard M. Sachar, author of A History of Israel

“Anyone who cares about Israel, the Palestinians, or peace should read The Hebrew Republic—a comprehensive analysis, a compelling vision, a wrenching cri de coeur. Of all the brilliant, brave voices heard here—and there are many—none is as indispensable as Avishai’s, with this book, has now become.” — James Carroll, author of Constantine's Sword

From the Inside Flap

Political economist Bernard Avishai has been thinking and writing about Israel since going there to volunteer during the 1967 War, most notably in his first and much-acclaimed book The Tragedy of Zionism. Now he returns to the topic in a passionate, incisive argument that the country must become a more complete democracy if it has any chance for a peaceful future. He exposes the connection between Israel's democratic crisis and the other problems besetting the nation?the expansion of settlements, the alienation of Israeli Arabs, and the exploding ultra-Orthodox population. He also makes an intriguing case for Israel's new international businesses as forces that can change the country for the better.

With every year, peace in Israel seems to recede further into the distance, while Israeli arts and businesses advance. This contradiction cannot endure much longer. In cutting through the inflammatory arguments of partisans on all sides, Avishai offers something even more important than his pragmatic solutions: He offers hope.
