Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law and morality are not always the same. Sometimes the right thing to do isn’t always legal. Sometimes standing up for your convictions can lead to a criminal conviction. Such was the story of Al Schwimmer, the World War II veteran and face of Israel Aerospace Industries. It was late in the 1940s. Enemies surrounded the newly formed Israeli state on all sides, with international embargos prohibiting the sale of military equipment. Schwimmer, using his experience and contacts as a flight engineer, orchestrated the smuggling of surplus airplanes and defense equipment to the Israeli people fighting for their existence. Much like Prometheus, the Greek titan who defied the gods and created mankind, Al’s crimes created history; they helped turn the tide of Israel’s War of Independence and gave the nation a fighting chance. In "Al, The Israeli Prometheus," Yoran puts together a telling story of who Al was behind the big decisions and valiant deeds and allows the hero to become human again.

Download or read book Marcion and Prometheus written by Anthony C. Sciglitano and published by Herder & Herder. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incisive, accesible study highlights Hans Urs von Balthasar's response to "Promethean" critics of Christianity from romantics such as Shelley to the philosophical likes of Feuerbach and Marx, focusing on these critics' unrelenting rejection of the religious claims of historical Judaism. The attributes of the Christian God which such humanists find most unpalatable--such as fatherhood, authority, and transcendence--are precisely those that were inherited from Judaism. According to von Balthasar, such critics have inadvertently reinvented the patristic-era heresy of Marcionism, which posits a radical and false dichotomy between the message of the Hebrew bible and that of the New Testament.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prometheus Deception Robert Ludlum is the acknowledged master of suspense and international intrigue. For over thirty years, in over twenty international bestsellers, he has a set a standard that has never been equaled. Now, with the Prometheus Deception, he proves that he is at the very pinnacle of his craft. Nicholas Bryson spent years as a deep cover operative for the American secret intelligence group, the Directorate. After critical undercover mission went horribly wrong, Bryson was retired to a new identity. Years later, his closely held cover is cracked and Bryson learns that the Directorate was not what it claimed - that he was a pawn in a complex scheme against his own country's interests. Now, it has become increasingly clear that the shadowy Directorate is headed for some dangerous endgame - but no one knows precisely who they are and what they are planning. With Bryson their only possible asset, the director of the CIA recruits Bryson to find, reinfiltrate, and stop the Directorate. But after years on the sidelines, Bryson's field skills are rusty, his contacts unreliable, and his instincts suspect. With everything he thought he knew about his own life in question, Bryson is all alone in a wilderness of mirrors - unsure what is and isn't true and who, if anyone, he can trust - with the future of millions in the balance. Sigma Protocol Ben Hartman is vacationing in Zurich, Switzerland when he chances upon his old friend Jimmy Cavanaugh—a madman who's armed and programmed to assassinate. In a matter of minutes, six innocent bystanders are dead. So is Cavanaugh. But when his body vanishes, and his weapon mysteriously appears in Hartman's luggage, Hartman is plunged into an unfathomable nightmare... Meanwhile, Anna Navarro, field agent for the Department of Justice, has been asked to investigate the sudden, random deaths of eleven men throughout the world. The only thing that connects them? A secret file, over a half-century old, that's linked to the CIA—and is marked with the same puzzling codename: Sigma. As Anna follows the connecting thread—and Hartman finds himself on the run—she ends up in the shadows of a relentless killer who is one step ahead of her...victim by victim. Now, she and Hartman together must uncover the diabolical secrets long held behind Sigma. It will threaten everything they think they know about themselves—and confirm their very worst fears...

Download or read book Old Historians New Historians No Historians written by Raphael Israeli and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This polemical volume tackles the thorny and controversial issue of the vastly different narratives told (or manufactured) by the two parties of the conflict in the Middle East (the Arabs and Israel), focusing on 1948, where it all started. While all sides in this debate have vested interests, this author included, an attempt has been made here to reflect the factual truth on the events, although their interpretation will always remain controversial. Although the book argues principally with Benny Morris, the founder and leader of the so-called New Historians, it encompasses a wide array of controversial topics, like the evaluation of the 1948-49 War, the morality of the war (or the necessity to wage it as it was), and its main reverberations, such as the continuing conflict after seven decades, the aggravation of the Palestinian minority in Israel, and the essence of what history means. Israeli argues that the current debate between the so-called Old Historians and the New Historians--itself healthy if and when it is kept to the point and not allowed to degrade into personal libel and recriminations--is not really as unbridgeable as is often claimed. Both sides have erred at points and both sides have some important and complementary light to shed on the contentious events surrounding the birth of Israel.

Download or read book The Pro Israel Lobby in Europe written by Elvira King and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities of pro-Israel pressure groups and lobbyists in the US are well-known. But the pro-Israel lobby in Europe is less prominent in both academic and media accounts. In a unique account, Elvira King identifies the pro-Israeli groups which attempt to influence policy-makers and implementers in the EU, specifically examining Christian Zionist groups. Through a detailed study of the European Coalition for Israel (ECI), the only Christian Zionist lobby in Brussels, Elvira King analyses whether and how a religious group can (and can fail to) influence decision-makers in the EU. By exploring the context of European relations with Israel as well as the mechanisms through which pressure groups are able to influence EU-wide policies, King offers an analysis which demonstrates how the EU can be a site where religion and politics meet, rather than just being a secular institution. It therefore contains vital primary research for both those interested in the pro-Israel lobby as well as those examining the role of religion in politics more generally.
