An in-depth analysis of Israel' s current political and social difficulties. Through the views and philosophies of one-time resistance fighter Hillel Kook, Professor Agassi guides the reader through the murky, troublesome waters of Israel' s governmental system, the failing peace process and the heated inner conflict between 'religious' and 'secular.'
Ardent supporters of liberal nationalism, both Professor Agassi and his mentor Kook call for a public debate on the abnormality of the State of Israel, where citizenship differs from nationality and nationality is identified with religious affiliation or origin.
