"In 1977, Israel's Mossad spy agency was given an assignment from former Prime Minister Menachem Begin to rescue thousands of Ethiopian Jewish refugees in Sudan and "deliver them" in the Jewish state. No stranger to action in enemy countries, the agency established a covert forward base in a deserted holiday village in Sudan, and deployed a handful of operatives to launch and oversee the exodus of the refugees to the Promised Land, by sea and by air, in the early 1980s. Gad Shimron, the author of this book, was one of their number. Shimron offers a thrilling firsthand account of how the operation was put in place, and how the Mossad team in Sudan brought it off, despite great personal risk, running a partying vacation spot for wealthy tourists by day as they stole through the Sudanese desert to rescue desperate refugees by night"--

Since its creation, the State of Israel has been a magnet for attention. A country beset by conflict in its region and faced with the need to integrate mainly Jewish immigrants of disparate backgrounds into a modern and advanced democratic state and society, Israel has preoccupied observers, scholars and journalists since its independence in May 1948. Although a Jewish state Israel is also a democratic state that guarantees the rights of all of its citizens, including its large Arab and Moslem minority, in law and in practice. Israel and its modern history and politics have been the subject of substantial and often highly partisan literature, being hotly and vigorously debated both at home and abroad. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Israel contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1100 cross-referenced entries onsignificant persons, places, events, government institutions, political parties, and battles, as well as entries on Israel’s economy, society, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the various diplomatic and political personalities, institutions, organizations, events, concepts, and documents that together define the political life of the Jewish state of Israel.

Between the years 2020 to 2034 more than nine million Jews, inspired and led by a remarkable man, migrate from the insecurity and uncertainty of Israel in the Middle East to a secure and peaceful New Israel in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. In this story, Dr. Yohan Cohen details the life of Ari Netanyahu and his messianic mission to deliver the Jewish people away from the hostility of the Arab world. Confronting the terrible drug cartel wars that torment Mexico with incredible violence and high death tolls, Ari Netanyahu and his associates from Mossad, the Israeli secret service, lead an anti-drug cartel campaign that eventually eliminates the cartel threat in Mexico and Central America. Dire predictions and warnings by climate scientists about global warming become reality as chilling views are seen of what a hotter world will be in twenty-two years. Mark Twain said, “Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting over,” and water soon becomes more precious than gold. In the Middle East, water becomes more sought after than oil. Major future geopolitical events occur in the Middle East and the Far East, and Dr. Cohen’s story ends in 2037 with a catastrophic event in the State of Palestine shortly after all Jews have resettled in their new homeland of Nuevo Israel in Mexico.

During the early to mid-twentieth century, the Zionist Organization secured a series of political victories on the international stage, leading to the foundation of a Jewish state and to its ability to expand its territorial control within Palestine. The International Diplomacy of Israel's Founders provides a revisionist account of the founding of Israel by exposing the misrepresentations and false assurances of Zionist diplomats during this formative period of Israeli history. By comparing diplomatic statements at the United Nations and elsewhere against the historical record, it sheds new light on the legacies of such leaders as Chaim Weizmann, David Ben Gurion, Abba Eban, and Shabtai Rosenne. Including coverage of little-discussed moments in early Israeli history, this book offers an important new perspective for anyone interested in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
