Told mainly through a series of vignettes and interviews, this fine book builds toward one overarching conclusion, namely that Israel, as it currently stands (politically, socially and demographically), is a country living on borrowed time.It is, at once, the idealistic, romantic story of Israel's 19th century beginnings, which ever so quickly folds into the initial conflicts with Palestinian neighbors, followed by conflicts ever more intense with each succeeding decade, and leading ultimately to the situation today in which a prosperous and powerful country of 6 million people is surrounded by 3 or 4 hundred million Arabs who, for the most part, wish they weren't there.The author, Ari Shavit, a proud Israeli citizen, sees his country as a land careening toward disaster unless and until it threads the needle out of the vortex in which it now finds itself. In a certain sense, this is a 'Waiting for Godot' story in which it appears that no solution is anywhere in sight. For there is, for certain, a poison cup in this land from which both sides drunk deeply.So profoundly distressing and so dangerous is the current situation that, at least to me, the only possible present path forward would seem to be a long series of moderating mini-steps that might, over time, ever so gradually dissipate the fear and hostility that today governs the multiple 'players and parties' who inhabit this troubled land.
For anyone interested in Israel and the Mideast, this is a fascinating book. Particularly interesting are the chapters on Zionism in the '30's, the War of Independence in 1948, and the Israeli nuclear program. It is unprecendented in my opinion to hear the Palestinian point of view fairly presented in a book that is overall pro-Israel. Reading it one comes to a better understanding of the depths of the grievances of the Palestinians and why peace is so hard to achieve. The bottom line is, unlike other "settled" countries which had huge expanses of land and small indigenous populations like the U.S., Canada, and Australia, Palestine was small and had a significant Arab population. Constructing the Jewish state led to significant displacement of these peoples but without this displacement there would be no Jewish state. Can't we all just get along? Reading this book one must conclude unfortunately that isn't going to happen anytime soon. The only criticism is that at times the author, who is overall a very good writer, is at times simply too wordy and repetitive.
This was a difficult book for me to read or review as it contains material seldom supplied in the usual sources available to me. However, I think it very important to reconsider the direction of a country so necessary for the survival of Jews, and a country that calls itself the only democracy in the Middle East.I read many facts in this book that I was totally unaware of, yet somewhere deep inside I had always questioned the total animosity existing in this tiny country. I felt the tension when visiting several times, despite loving the area and what I thought it stood for.It is not an easy read, and I wanted to go back over a number of sections in order to better understand what had taken place earlier, but I'm not that familiar yet with finding things on my Kindle, so eventually, I may re-read this book in regular book form!I strongly recommend reading this book, written by the grandson of one of the early founders, in order to see and try to understand that in order to remain a viable country, perhaps it is important to open more dialogue, both within the Israeli community and if at all possible, with the surrounding countries. Or I worry this miracle country will no longer be "My Promised Land"!
This book is not (and doesn’t claim to be) an accurate history. It contains glaring errors.For instance, an entire chapter is devoted to (Laborite) Shmaryahu Gutman, whose key achievement, for the author, is erecting - in the lead up to the 1948 War of Independence - ancient Masada (the mountaintop fortress where Jews made their suicidal last stand against Herod’s Romans 2,000 years ago) as a stirring symbol for Israeli youth.However, the (Labor) opposition Revisionist movement lionised Masada decades before Gutman.In fact, Shavit even refers in his book to the hanging of Shlomo Ben Yosef (“the first Jewish terroristâ€) in 1938.21-year old Ben Yosef (in)famously declared before being executed (for attempting to murder Arab civilians in a retaliatory attack): “To die or to conquer the hill (Yodefet, Masada, Betar)†- these Masada-inspired lines drawn from the Revisionist youth movement anthem he had grown up with.Ben Yosef’ declaration is a very well known Zionist historical incident. It seems almost inconceivable to me that Shavit would not be aware of this (pre-Gutman) Masada link.But no matter, for the author pretty clearly stresses that “My Promised Land†is his own “personal journey†and NOT a history. The finished product is certainly personal, and - on balance - an excellent, quietly passionate and instructive polemic.There are parts of it that bored me witless, but there are huge - shocking - factoids as well:- the Ofra leader who openly shares with Shavit his dispassionate plans for blowing up the Dome of the Rock;- Defence Minister Dayan empathetically defending a Gaza Palestinian at the funeral of an Israeli soldier he murdered (the Palestinian, not Dayan);- the former top engineer at the Dimona nuclear plant essentially telling Shavit that Israel ought to nuke Iran before Iran nukes Israel;- technicolor details of deliberate (and deliberately low key), systematic, mass-scale disenfranchisement of Palestinians by Jewish leaders.The author is a bit of a hand-wringing Nellie, for mine - and a bit slippery too, not only vis-a-vis the tailored information, but also in the way he seems to drool at several points in the book over “slim ... good looking†young people (cf, you can’t help it, the sordid accusations against him in recent years) ...... But My Promised Land is a really good, thought provoking book, a quality piece of work.
