Story
Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of today’s clash of civilizations. From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is the epic history of three thousand years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism and coexistence. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the only city that exists twice - in heaven and on earth.

Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

Story
In Israel and the West, it is called the Six Day War. In the Arab world, it is known as the June War or, simply, as "the Setback". Never has a conflict so short, unforeseen, and largely unwanted by both sides so transformed the world. The Yom Kippur War, the war in Lebanon, the Camp David accords, the controversy over Jerusalem and Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the intifada, and the rise of Palestinian terror are all part of the outcome of those six days.

Story
Relations between the American Jewish community and Israel are at an all-time nadir. Since Israel’s founding 70 years ago, particularly as memory of the Holocaust and of Israel’s early vulnerability has receded, the divide has grown only wider. Most explanations pin the blame on Israel’s handling of its conflict with the Palestinians, Israel’s attitude toward non-Orthodox Judaism, and Israel’s dismissive attitude toward American Jews in general. In short, the cause for the rupture is not what Israel is; it’s what Israel does.

The Talmud says: “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.” This instinct to take every measure, even the most aggressive, to defend the Jewish people is hardwired into Israel’s DNA. From the very beginning of its statehood in 1948, protecting the nation from harm has been the responsibility of its intelligence community and armed services, and there is one weapon in their vast arsenal that they have relied upon to thwart the most serious threats: Targeted assassinations have been used countless times, on enemies large and small....

Born in Poland in 1913, Begin was a youthful admirer of the Revisionist Zionist Ze’ev Jabotinsky and soon became a leader within Jabotinsky’s Betar movement.

The four spies at the center of this story were part of a ragtag unit known as the Arab Section, conceived during World War II by British spies and Jewish militia leaders in Palestine. Intended to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage and assassinations, the unit consisted of Jews who were native to the Arab world and could thus easily assume Arab identities. In 1948, with Israel's existence in the balance during the War of Independence, our spies went undercover in Beirut, where they spent the next two years operating out of a kiosk....

Until about 1800, the West and the Islamic realm were like two adjacent, parallel universes, each assuming itself to be the center of the world while ignoring the other. As Europeans colonized the globe, the two world histories intersected and the Western narrative drove the other one under. The West hardly noticed, but the Islamic world found the encounter profoundly disrupting.

My favorite book of ALL Time

Publisher's Summary
The first comprehensive yet accessible history of the state of Israel from its inception to present day, from Daniel Gordis, "one of the most respected Israel analysts" (The Forward) living and writing in Jerusalem.
Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future?
We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions. Though Israel's history is rife with conflict, these conflicts do not fully communicate the spirit of Israel and its people: they give short shrift to the dream that gave birth to the state, and to the vision for the Jewish people that was at its core. Guiding us through the milestones of Israeli history, Gordis relays the drama of the Jewish people's story and the creation of the state. Clear-eyed and erudite, he illustrates how Israel became a cultural, economic and military powerhouse - but also explains where Israel made grave mistakes and traces the long history of Israel's deepening isolation.
With Israel, public intellectual Daniel Gordis offers us a brief but thorough account of the cultural, economic, and political history of this complex nation, from its beginnings to the present. Accessible, levelheaded, and rigorous, Israel sheds light on Israel's past so we can understand its future. The result is a vivid portrait of a people, and a nation, reborn.

Great read; shows history, current story & nuance
Great well-written book. Daniel Gordis does a great job in presenting a long history in a brief manner, relating the trajectory and path that led Israel and the Jewish people to where they are today. He does a wonderful job of keeping impartial and just presents the facts of both sides of the coin, relating a people's history to their actions and describing both their successes and missteps along the way. By describing many important details in their broader context, he gives the high-level and specifics in an efficient manner. It is a great way to learn all about this country that is at the forefront of news so often, and understand how Israel got to where it is today, and suggests some views or hints to where we can go from here. Highly recommended to anyone who wants an impartial view of the history and current situation. This review opinion is my own and is coincidentally an entry for the Audible 20 review sweepstakes entry.

Excellent, mildly but honestly biased, terrible narration
I'm sorry, I just can't forgive the decision to cast narrators who don't know how to pronounce even basic Hebrew names or words in a book about Israel. I'm not looking for ultra-authentic native accent, but jeez, are these readings assigned to narrators by pure chance like judges to court cases?
Excellent history in a format I haven't really seen done elsewhere - comprehensive but concise. It definitely reflects a desire to tell a story from the point of view of Jews (Zionist and non-Zionist alike), but provides sufficient context generally that there's enough material upon which to base arguments against if one were so inclined. I put this under the entirely proper category of an author acknowledging from the outset that he is biased but will earnestly attempt to write in a manner that is fair to all sides. It's left to the reader to decide how well he succeeds in that, but there's no obfuscation or misinformation.

An American Christians takeaway from a conflict I knew little about
This book was an awakening for me. For decades I’ve heard the stories about the Israeli & Palestinian conflict but did not understand what had caused it. I now understand a little better why the Palestinians hate them so much and I understand why the Israelis are so determined to defend the land they have fought so desperately to call home. My take away is a deep admiration for the Jewish people for their determination to create a safe haven for their culture all while being surrounded by Arab cultures that teach hatred for a people they really don’t know except for by reputations passed on from generation to generation. In the end I think I would have to side with Dennis Prager‘s summary of the conflict. If tomorrow Israel said “we will fight no more”, what would happen? If tomorrow the Palestinians said “we will fight no more”, what would happen? In the first case the Jews would be annihilated by its neighbors. In the second case there would be instant peace between the two countries.

Wonderful Book
This is a wonderfully written book , and Gordis is able to frame the major figures and ideas which has shaped the Jewish State. His portraits of Herzl, Ahad Ha’am, Ben Gurion and Begin are particularly instructive and he uses those figures and ideas to frame many of the debates throughout Israel’s history.
As for the reading, the narrator is clear. However, it is clear he does not know Hebrew as he constantly mispronounces words and even some names. While for me it was not distracting, as he is a very good reader, I think it important to learn how to pronounce the words correctly.

Excellent narrator, fascinating overview, limited perspective
Not being a Hebrew speaker myself, I found the narration to be excellent with clear pronunciation and engaging tone. The actual text is engaging, fast-paced, and informative. I was left wondering what the other side of the story is, however. It is clear that this historian’s understanding favors Israel. While he certainly does not paint Israel in a hagiographic light, I imagine that there is more to be said about Palestinian grievances than he may have revealed. Overall, highly recommended.

Interesting and Educational
For those of us who know only what history classes and the news media tell us, this book was extremely eye-opening. There was so much I never knew or realized about the Jewish people or Israel and its creation and fight for survival. Initially I wanted to read this book to learn more about Israel before taking a trip there, but, now, as a Christian, I feel somehow a kinship with a people that I share Biblical roots with as well as a sense of pride in the country they have forged from nothing. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to understand the Middle East, it’s problems, and the nation of Israel. Peace.

Well written. painful narration
Daniel Gordis wrote a consice history of the state of Israel as promised. He is strong writer. Fred Sanders was a painful narrator to listen to. He did not do his homework on pronuncition and only 50% of his hebrew words were correctly articulated. that made it hard to listen to. Additionally his delivery was more suited to a gentle fiction tale than to a nonfiction book.

Really enjoyed listening to this as I fell in love with Israel in 1984 and have always thought very highly of the Israeli people. The country and its people are wonderful.....
Only gripe that I have is the pronunciation of some of the words. The American accent grated on me after a while.

Must be heard by all friends of Israel
A fascinating overview of Israeli history, politics, culture and economic life. The book explains the dreams and fears that led to the establishment of the State of Israel and its subsequent difficult birth. Furthermore we learn about the Jewish mindset as the country's leaders built a military and economic colossus. We learn about the political and religious differences between Jews and their perspectives. We also learn about the duplicity of the Palestinian political leaders who refuse to recognise Israel's right to exist and live in peace and the frustration of politicians trying to find solutions. Excellently narrated I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have a deeper respect for the Jewish people and the buccaneering, brave nation they have created.

Israel's History from their perspective
It does what it's supposed to, tell you the history of Israel and the Jewish people , their thoughts and ideas while working to make a Jewish state.
I noticed that some reviews are rating it low not because of it's content but because of the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel, people shouldn't do that, this isn't supposed to be an apology letter or confession or anything like that, it's just history.
