Recenzje

Reminding us that we still need a discerning portrait of the settler, Dalsheim brilliantly draws a devastating picture of the strains and pressures at work between Judaism and Zionism. The liberation of the Jews by the self-proclaimed 'State of the Jewish People' has created a new Jewish problem. Dalsheim documents that to the question 'who is a Jew?' - 'Not an Arab' is only the most violent among a terrifying array of quotidian answers, erasures, and eradications.
