New Book Challenges Conventional Thinking on Judaism, Zionism and the Modern State of Israel

Ariella Atzmon's The Abused Children of Israel Presents a Provocative Exploration of Jewish Identity, History and Power
LONDON, ENGLAND - Author and social critic Ariella Atzmon will launch the publishing of her newest book titled The Abused Children of Israel: Looking Through the Eyes of Judaism and the State of Israel as an Unfulfilled Promise, an extremely controversial and reflective book that provides a critique of Judaism, Jewish history, Zionism and State of Israel from a philosophical and cultural standpoint.

Published after more than a decade since the 2014 Gaza war, it is expected that this new book of Ariella Atzmon tackles issues that remain politically sensitive, intellectually engaging, and often avoided in mainstream discussion.

Using religious texts, narratives, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and political theories, this book of Ariella provides an alternative view of Jewish history and identity that goes beyond just politics. Ariella argues that a common misapprehension of Zionism is treating it as a political movement only. To better understand Zionism, one also has to understand the cognitive and metaphysical Jewish constructs that arise from Jewish biblical narratives and their covenant with God and His children.

One of the main theses of the book is that the Jewish scriptures, in their description of the formative incidents, have phonemically inscribed into the Jewish collective psyche incidents that have not only contributed to the cultural identity of Modern Jewry, but that also have contributed to the political identity and the general Jewish way of life. Using this assumption, the author attempts to interlace religion, nationalism, domination, and memory, and she poses a number of challenges to the popular and orthodox views concerning Jewish exceptionalism, antisemitism, and the Jewish State.

Ariella claims that in most analyses of modern Israel, there is now, and has been, far too much attention paid to the political system and not enough to the religion and the culture. This way of thinking makes it possible for people to think about what influence, if any, the ancient Jewish narratives might have on modern world events.

This book once again examines such topics as monotheism, ethics, and Jewish identity and offers many other provocative ideas that will elicit a variety of responses from its readers.

In her book, Ariella shows how secular Jews, liberal Jews, religious Jews, and others think about and analyse these terms and explains that today's debate cannot be understood without understanding its theological and historical background.

Additionally, in her work, Ariella discusses the formation of the Jewish identity across several centuries of exiles and diasporas. She analyses the role of history, memory, culture, and continuity in the formation of the self-concept of Jewish people. At the same time, she focuses on politics and thought in the process of the development of the identity.

The author is clearly not afraid of addressing various controversial topics in her writing. These include anti-Semitism, political correctness, and the Western intellectual tradition, as well as the notion of free speech. These elements will constitute the larger framework of the contemporary nexus of power, identity, and morality.

The author asserts that the chief purpose of her writing is not to add more history to the history books. Her purpose is more to incite thoughts and perhaps even some activities in the individuals who decide to read her work. The book will appeal to the reader who is interested in philosophy, religion, and politics and culture of the Middle East and who is ready to deal with challenging ideas.

With the growth of global discussions regarding such issues as Israel, Palestine, identity politics, and freedom of speech, The Abused Children of Israel emerges in response as one of the books meant to generate controversy. Whether or not the reader agrees with the book's statements, they are supposed to ponder over them as they appear controversial.

Written in the UK, the book joins the discussion regarding history, religion, nationalism, and politics.
