Więcej o książce
In this urgent call to both his fellow Israelis and Diaspora Jews, Paul Gross argues that the fight to defend Zionism abroad, and the fight to defend liberal democracy at home, are just different fronts in the same war. Gross traces the assault on judicial independence, the empowering of extremists, and the attack on democracy's gatekeepers - and shows how each is a betrayal of the promise made in Israel's own founding document: that the state would ensure "complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants, irrespective of religion, race or sex." This is essential reading for anyone who cares about Israel's future - and about what happens when democracies stop believing in checks on their own power.
