History Of The Jews And The Land Of Israel Deneen Jacobus

This is about the history and religion of the Jews, who originated in the Land of Israel and have maintained physical, cultural, and religious ties to it ever since.
This book takes the reader through a journey spanning over three millennia: the historical connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel; the revival of their national aspirations in the modern Zionist movement; the recognition of their collective, national rights in international law; and the insidious violation of these rights during the British Mandate period, up to the proclamation of the State of Israel. In conclusion, we offer some thoughts on the myth-fact dichotomy that continues to plague the political reality of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and on the path to a just and lasting peace in the region.
