GOLIATH Life and Loathing in Greater Israel

Zionist book burners of all sorts discredited the book and its author. Nevertheless, Blumenthal may have learned the necessary lesson.

(LONDON) - Max Blumenthal’s Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel is a good read: A personal journey of a young American righteous Jew who finds plenty of faults in other Jews in general and in The Jewish State in particular.

Blumenthal is a very good writer, his flow is fantastic. His delivery is overwhelmingly juicy on the verge of gossipy. He doesn’t pretend to be objective, precise or accurate.

Former Israeli combat soldiers are on a North American tour to promote their book of soldier testimonies, "Our Harsh Logic."

(BOSTON Ha'aretz) - In an oak-paneled Harvard Law School hall, two former Israeli combat soldiers turned anti-occupation activists listened as a prominent professor compared their role to those of American soldiers of another era, the “Winter Investigation Soldiers” who spoke out against atrocities they saw or took part in during the Vietnam War.

“That you too were foot soldiers is part of what gives such moral gravity to this project,” said Janet Halley, a Harvard law professor, as she introduced the two young men...

"Agron Belica’s controversial book, vigorously challenges the conventional view of John the Baptist as little more than the baptizer of Jesus and the herald of his messiahship"
- Dr. Jay R. Crook Author of The Bible: An Islamic Perspective

(WASHINGTON DC) - It is said that history is written by the winners. As one engaged in research and journalism and who keeps that old saw in mind, I am always interested in new ideas and new interpreta-tions of accepted truths.

This carefully researched study of one of the most important events in human history certainly answers to both of those interests.

Resurrection - a Novel by Anthony Ashton

This is a shameless attempt to promote my book, Resurrection—which, despite its title, is not at all religious...

(BANGKOK) - When finishing a video promoting a book I've just written, I was rudely interrupted by Baroness Deech having a go at Nigel Kennedy for telling the truth about Apartheid Israel.

Though having taken a vow of activist-silence until the book was up and running, I could not pass by this blatant slur on a very talented and honest man in a lie told by a Member of the House of Lords, so I dropped everything to have a go at Her Ladyship.

A Postmodern Fable of the Fall of the Empire

Postmodern writers create confusion in their works as a way of undermining conventional concepts of understanding and truth, our received intellectual heritage.

(OLDENBURG, Germany) - The Indian Uprising" by Donald Barthelme is an iconic short story of the 1960s heralding the defeat of the US empire and the end of white male dominance.

Written as the USA was mired in a hopeless war, as Native-Americans and African-Americans were rebelling against oppression, and as women were breaking out of the traditional roles they had been confined to, the story predicted the victory of these insurgents over the feeble old order.

New Book: Short Rations for Marines

The caveat in contributing a story was that each writer must tell a true story about a Marine, a Fleet Marine sailor, or their dependent families.

(WASHINGTON DC) - Short Rations for Marines by Major Ralph Stoney Bates Sr., USMC (Ret) is an exquisite, easy to read, collection of 57 true stories authored by 34 very different writers.

It takes readers through a domain, not only of tragic historical significance, but also through humorous, often ridiculous incidents that flawlessly become antidotes for the conventional.
