Synopsis

Israel's claim to be a state which is both democratic and Jewish is rarely questioned. This unique book by an Israeli woman writer, part lively memoir, part social analysis, reveals the extent to which even the rights of its own citizens depend on their religious and ethnic origin. Not only are education, transport, nutrition, marriage and divorce strictly regulated by a patriarchal Jewish-orthodox establishment, but its segregationist rulings determine key political and military decisions. Rabbis, nationalist politicians, and the so called secular liberal elite share the same anti-assimilationist ideology leading the decades long occupation and settlements policy. Raised in a self-righteous culture legitimising discrimination, segregation, repression and a brutal militarism, most Israelis now cannot imagine a just peace with the Palestinians.
