  Israel - What Went Wrong?

  Omer Bartov

  A leading Israeli American scholar of the Holocaust explores and explains his native country's intensifying turn toward violence and exclusion.The distinguished historian Omer Bartov was born on a kibbutz, grew up in Tel Aviv, and served in the Israel Defense Forces during the Yom Kippur War. He went on to become a leading scholar of the German army and the Holocaust, before turning his attention to his native country.In Israel: What Went Wrong?, Bartov sketches the tragic transformation of Zionism, a movement that sought to emancipate European Jewry from oppression, into a state ideology of ethno-nationalism. How is it possible, he asks, that a state founded in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, an event that gave legitimacy to a national home for the Jews, stands credibly accused of perpetrating large-scale war crimes? How do we come to terms with the fact that Israel’s war of destruction is being conducted with the support, laced with denial and indifference, of so many of its Jewish citizens?Tracing the roots of the violent events currently unfolding in Israel and the occupied territories, Bartov tracks his country's moral tribulations and considers the origins of Zionism, the intertwining of Israel’s independence with Palestinian displacement, the politics of the Holocaust, controversies over the term "genocide," and the uncertain future. The result is a searing and urgent critique that addresses today’s debates over Zionism and the future of Israel with rigor and depth.

  ANDREW: 
  I’d dreamed of him again. Now, if I’d known that Juandre would haunt my thoughts day and night for the past ten years, I would never have had the man. I couldn’t dispute my incisors had prickled at the sexy Hispanic ever since he’d pulled over and smiled a cheeky smile at me. 
  As if I couldn’t already read into that, I knew what he would ask me even before he asked. The thing was, I had felt a little peckish and hoped a meal would stop and take me home with him for the night. Prolonging my hunger was never good. 
  That final night of debauchery and discovery was the last item on my list to check off before my year-long sabbatical to clear my head and decide whether I wanted to run away or dismantle the Disciples. Over the years, I had managed to surround myself with them, and only Tony and the few men in our inner circle knew the true reason for Lord Andrew Whiskey. 
  He’ll be in his early thirties, and I’ll still look exactly like I did ten years ago. Will he even remember me? 
  This story contains explicit graphic depictions of gay sex and crude language unsuitable for young or sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex.

  "Common Sense" is a political pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776. It played a crucial role in inspiring American colonists to take up arms against the British and fight for independence. 
  In the pamphlet, Paine argues that it is only common sense for the American colonies to break away from Britain and become an independent nation. He criticizes the British monarchy and the idea of hereditary succession, arguing that power should be based on merit and ability, not birthright. 
  Paine also argues that the British government has failed to protect the interests of the American colonists and that they should be free to govern themselves. He appeals to the sense of patriotism and self-interest of his readers, arguing that American independence would lead to greater prosperity and a better way of life. 
  Overall, "Common Sense" is a passionate and persuasive argument for American independence, written in clear and accessible language that appealed to a wide audience. It remains one of the most influential political writings in American history.

  Mindless War

  This audiobook is an update to Reality Prism: A Raven Thriller, released by Flamingo Audiobooks. The focus of our book is to describe and explain the myriad of attacks on our Western Culture in general and the United States as the key target and last bastion of freedom. Mind War is the use of sophisticated deception to deceive an enemy, and to plant false images in his mind to allow advantage. It is a military tactic.Mindless War is a phrase that we’ve coined to describe the methods and controls being used destructively by Globalists, the New World Order, China, the Radical Left, and others, to replace the “old order” of countries, independent nation states, with a world of total control by independent, unaccountable elites. Groups like the World Economic Forum and the UN have been working on this for decades.Yes, this is the “Great Reset.” The goals are documented in UN Agenda 2030, and other such documents. That is the subject of our book Reality Prism. The goal of Mind War is to instill fear in a society! “Fear is the Mind Killer.” It drives the loss of judgment. False reality can be used to cause insane, self-destructive behavior.In the past, genocides and tyranny came from force. As Mao demonstrated, “From the barrel of a gun.” Or, as Hitler showed, from military conquest and death camps. Mind War is a much more effective tactic.Recent events show its success in getting Americans to surrender our notions of exceptionalism and all men (and women) of being equal. Our God-Given Freedoms—from the right to assemble, free speech, fair trials, innocent until proven guilty, honest elections, freedom of worship, the rule of law, and, of course, at the end, the right to bear arms—are all slipping away.

  It's time for America to get back in the international leadership game. 
   
   
   
  What should our global strategy look like in an age of renewed great power competition? And what must America offer to a newly empowered developing world when we're no longer the only major player? 
   
   
   
  In The American Imperative, international development expert Daniel Runde makes the case for building a new global consensus through vigorous internationalism and the judicious use of soft power. Runde maps out many of the steps that we need to take—primarily in the non-military sphere—to ensure an alliance of stable and secure, like-minded, self-reliant partner nations in order to prevent rising authoritarian powers such as China from running the world.

  How Polarization Begets...

  Extreme polarization in American politics is perhaps the most confounding political phenomenon of our time. This book binds together polarization in Congress and polarization in the electorate within an ever-expanding feedback loop. This loop is powered by the discipline exerted by the respective political parties on their Congressional members and district candidates and endorsed by the voters in each Congressional district who must choose between the alternatives offered. Tight national party discipline produces party delegations in Congress that are widely separated from one another but each ideologically narrowly distributed. 
   
   
   
  As district constituencies become more polarized and are egged on by activists, parties are further motivated to appeal to their respective bases rather than to voters in the ideological center. America has indeed acquired parties with clear platforms—once thought to be a desirable goal—but these parties are now feuding camps. What resolution might there be? Just as the progressive movement slowly replaced the Gilded Age, might a new reform effort replace the current squabble? Or could an asymmetry develop in the partisan constraints that would lead to ascendancy of the center, or might a new and over-riding issue generate a cross-cutting dimension, opening the door to a new politics? Only the future will tell.
