Jewish History

From Gore Vidal’s forward to the book; Jewish History, Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak. Be sure to read it. “… Israel Shahak never ceases to analyze not only the dismal politics of Israel today but the Talmud itself, and the effect of the entire rabbinical tradition on a small state that the right-wing rabbinate means to turn into a theocracy for Jews only. I have been reading Shahak for years. He has a satirist’s eye for the confusions to be found in any religion that tries to rationalize the irrational.”
