Josef Ben-Eliezer Livres

Violence and war have raged between Zionists and Palestinians for over a century, ever since Zionists, trying to establish a nation-state in Palestine, were forced to confront the fact that the country was already populated. Covering every conflict in Israel’s history, War over Peace reveals that Israeli nationalism was born ethnic and militaristic and has embraced these characteristics to this day. In his sweeping and original synthesis, Uri Ben-Eliezer shows that this militaristic nationalism systematically drives Israel to solve its national problems by military means, based on the idea that the homeland is sacred and the territory is indivisible. When Israelis opposed to this ideology brought about change during a period that led to the Oslo Accords in the 1990s, cultural and political forces, reinforced by religious and messianic elements, prevented the implementation of the agreements, which brought violence back in the form of new wars. War over Peace is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the role of ethnic nationalism and militarism in Israel as well as throughout the world.

Set against a backdrop of war and persecution, this true story follows Josef Ben-Eliezer, a Jewish man whose life is shaped by the horrors of the Nazi regime. After fleeing Germany and enduring a perilous journey through Siberia and Asia, he arrives in Israel, determined to fight for its independence. As he confronts the brutality of conflict and the Holocaust, Josef grapples with profound questions about humanity and the possibility of peace, making this narrative a compelling exploration of survival and the quest for understanding in a fractured world.

Als Jude wächst Josef Ben-Eliezer in Deutschland unter dem Schatten des Holocaust auf und flieht 1934. Nach einer gefährlichen, von Hunger und Not begleiteten, Odyssee durch Zentralasien erreicht er schließlich Israel. Dort kämpft er für die Unabhängigkeit seines neuen Heimatlandes. Doch als Soldat verfolgt ihn die Unmenschlichkeit des Krieges weiter: Warum können Menschen nicht im Frieden miteinander leben? Schließlich findet Ben-Eliezer in der christlichen Bruderhof-Gemeinschaft in Deutschland zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben echte Heimat.
