SUMMARY:JCC Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join the JCC for their 2021 Book Festival.\nSpeaker: Ami Ayalon\nModerator: Neal Elyakin\nFriend­ly Fire: How Israel Became Its Own Worst Ene­my\nand the Hope for Its Future\nNON­FIC­TION \nNational Jewish Book Awards Finalist 2020 \nIn this deeply per­son­al jour­ney of dis­cov­ery\, Ami Ayalon seeks input and per­spec­tive from Pales­tini­ans and Israelis whose expe­ri­ences dif­fer from his own. As head of the Shin Bet secu­ri­ty agency\, he gained empa­thy for ​“the ene­my” and learned that when Israel car­ries out anti-ter­ror­ist oper­a­tions in a polit­i­cal con­text of hope­less­ness\, the Pales­tin­ian pub­lic will sup­port vio­lence\, because they have noth­ing to lose. Research­ing and writ­ing Friend­ly Fire\, he came to under­stand that his patri­ot­ic life had blind­ed him to the self-defeat­ing nature of poli­cies that have under­mined Israel’s civ­il soci­ety while heap­ing humil­i­a­tion upon its Pales­tin­ian neigh­bors. ​“If Israel becomes an Orwellian dystopia\,” Ayalon writes\, ​“it won’t be thanks to a hand­ful of the­olo­gians drag­ging us into the dark past. The sec­u­lar major­i­ty will lead us there moti­vat­ed by fear and pro­pelled by silence.” Ayalon is a real­ist\, not an ide­al­ist\, and many who con­sid­er them­selves Zion­ists will regard as rad­i­cal his con­clu­sions about what Israel must do to achieve rel­a­tive peace and secu­ri­ty and to sus­tain itself as a Jew­ish home­land and a lib­er­al democracy. \nAuthor: Ami Ayalon \nAdmi­ral (Ret.)
