The Invention of the Jewish People by Shlomo Sand
Very interesting and level headed. Given to Peter on 11 February 2022
מסה קצרה ומרתקת של זנד על תולדות ומקורות האנטישמיות. למרות הזלזול הכללי שזנד זוכה לו, אני אוהב אותו. גם אם לא כל התזות שלו מוכחות מדעית, הן עושות הרבה יותר שכל מאשר האגדות שבהן הזינו אותנו מהיום שהתחלנו ללכת לגן. לדעתו של זנד, היהודים אינם גזע, הגלות לא הייתה מעולם, השנאה ליהודים נבעה ממקורות שונים והיתה אוניברסלית ולפעמים אף מובנת. האנטישמיות הולכת ונעלמת ואת מקומה תופסת ביקורת מוצדקת על מדיניות ישראל. הבעיה היחידה שלי עם זנד שהוא ממציא מונחים לעצמו שאיש לא משתמש בהם ולא טורח אפילו להסביר אותם.… (more)
Fantastic little number, very accessible.
Shlomo Sand is lovely to contextualise Renan in the frame of Said villanising him as a key founder of race theory. He is generous is explaining that Said was not wrong, but only that Renan's views changed over time. In this way, Sand brings another progressive Palestinian voice into his hopeful dialectic.
Of course the only people who push the ridiculous and dangerous notion that Jews are a race are Nazis and UltraZionists. Here, with direct citation in original languages of antiquity is Renan demonstrating quite clearly this is not true. And together with Said and Sand we span almost 3000 years of history up to the present - an argument that can only bring hope for the kind of alliances and new formations that will be necessary to defeat racism and ensure mutual communal flourishing for all in Palestine in the years ahead.
Shlomo Sand is an inspiration.… (more)

Essere un ebreo secolare significa appartenere a un club esclusivo, al quale non si è liberi di unirsi. Nessuno può diventare un ebreo secolare se non è nato da madre ebrea. Da questo concetto nasce molto di ciò che accade e, purtroppo, accadrà in futuro in Israele e nei territori occupati. Un nuovo apartheid, un razzismo strisciante, le colonie (una malattia che sta avvelenando Israele).
