The author, who was raised as an Orthodox Jew, shows how the arrogant and invidious Jewish chauvinism of modern Israel are rooted in the Talmud and Jewish rabbinical laws. Shahak, who came to Israel in 1945 after surviving the notorious German concentration camp of Belsen during World War II, condemns Israel’s systemic discrimination against the non-Jews under its rule. He insists that the Jewish religion, especially in its classical and Talmudic form, is “poisoning minds and hearts.”

In this acclaimed book, he warns that Israel’s right-wing Jewish religious communities and political parties are a long-term threat to Israel and the Zionist movement. Israel’s identity as an emphatically Jewish ethno-religious state, and policies based on that outlook – he contends – constitute a danger not only to itself and its inhabitants, but to Jews everywhere, as well as to the peoples and states of the Middle East.

Includes forewords from earlier editions, by Gore Vidal, Ilan Pappe, and Edward Said.
