The Art of Military Innovation
Why is Israel's relatively small and low-budget military also the world's most innovative, technologically and logistically? Edward Luttwak and Eitan Shamir look to the IDF's unique structure: integrating army, air force, and navy in one service, under an officer class constantly refreshed by short tenures, the IDF is built for agility and change.
Israel and the Diaspora: Jewish Connectivity in a Changing World
This collected volume is based on the proceedings of a symposium held in 2018 at York University, Canada, which was held to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Israel. This symposium highlighted contemporary Jewish identity, Israel-Diaspora relations, and how Jewish life has been transformed in light of various types of antisemitism. The book considers the diasporic Jewish experiences through examining the intersections between various Jewish communities sociologically, historically, and geographically. The text covers world Jewry in general, and each of the diaspora and Israeli Jewries more specifically in the context of mutual responsibility, but also focuses on areas of tension concerning...
The Moral Triangle
Berlin is home to Europe’s largest Palestinian diaspora community and one of the world’s largest Israeli diaspora communities. Germany’s guilt about the Nazi Holocaust has led to a public disavowal of anti-Semitism and strong support for the Israeli state. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Berlin report experiencing increasing levels of racism and Islamophobia. In The Moral Triangle Sa’ed Atshan and Katharina Galor draw on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with Israelis, Palestinians, and Germans in Berlin to explore these asymmetric relationships in the context of official German policies, public discourse, and the private sphere. They show how these relationships stem from narratives ...

A comparative study of contemporary Israeli and Palestinian diasporas.
A Double Burden
Critically analyzing Israeli-Jewish migration to Germany, A Double Burden combines complementary approaches from the social sciences—quantitative, qualitative, and ethnographic research—to track migrants' reasons for moving, their families' reactions, their settlement in the new country, and their social and economic integration, construction of identity, and perceptions of old and new antisemitism in Germany. Each chapter is placed within a relevant theoretical framework, the entire discussion set against the background of present-day international migration in general, migration to Germany in particular, and the Jewish experience in unified Germany. Rich with empirical evidence and presented with exceptional clarity and accessibility, A Double Burden will appeal to scholars of migration studies, the Israeli Diaspora, and German-Jewish life, as it also illuminates trauma and memory among third-generation Holocaust survivors.
El arte de la innovación militar
Un libro absolutamente revelador del arte de la guerra contemporánea, en el que un estratega militar de renombre internacional y un distinguido miembro de las FDI desentrañan los secretos que se ocultan detrás del improbable éxito, en sus inicios, de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel. Desde sus humildes comienzos en mayo de 1948, mal equipadas, con escasa base industrial pero armadas de un espíritu de improvisación inédito, forjaron su camino hacia una victoria decisiva en la primera guerra árabe-israelí, su gran hito. Gracias a Edward N. Luttwak y Eitan Shamir conoceremos la historia militar de Israel, incidiendo en la evolución de sus fuerzas de defensa y cómo han logrado convert...
Israelis, Palästinenser und Deutsche in Berlin
Berlin ist die Heimat der größten palästinensischen Diasporagemeinschaft Europas und einer der größten israelischen Diasporagemeinschaften der Welt. Sa'ed Atshan und Katharina Galor untersuchen in diesem Buch die asymmetrischen Erfahrungen dieser beiden Gruppen. Die Erfahrungen werden in Bezug auf deutsche offizielle Positionen und Diskurse analysiert, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Fragen von Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Die tief empfundene Schuld des Holocaust, der Kampf gegen Antisemitismus und die außergewöhnlichen Beziehungen Deutschlands zum israelischen Staat sind einige der Faktoren, die die besondere Behandlung der Israelis in Deutschland erklären. Palästinenser berichten dage...
