"The Rhodes blood libel of 1840, an outbreak of anti-Jewish violence, was initiated by the island's governor in collusion with Levantine merchants, who charged the local Jewish community with murdering a Christian boy for ritual purposes. An episode in the shared histories of Ottomans and Jews, it was forgotten by the former and, even if remembered, misunderstood by the latter. The 1840 Rhodes Blood Libel aims to restore the place of this event in Sephardi and Ottoman history. Based on newly discovered Ottoman and Jewish sources it argues that the acquittal of Rhodian Jews is adequately understood only in the context of the Tanzimat and the Sublime Porte's foreign relations. Contrary to the common view that Ottoman Jews did not experience the impact of the Tanzimat reforms until the mid-1850s, this study shows that their effects were felt as early as 1840. Furthermore, this book offers a window onto life and intercommunal relations in the Eastern Mediterranean during the late Ottoman era"--

THE TERRORIST MASSACRE COMMITTED BY HAMAS AGAINST INNOCENT ISRAELS ON OCTOBER 7, 2023 BROUGHT GREAT TRAUMA TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL.BUT IT ALSO HAS BROUGHT GREAT CLARITY. It is this clarity that tells us we must try something NEW. It is this clarity that tells us Israel must plan its future on its own and not obsess about what others think. And it is this clarity that compels us to go back to basics -- to return to the biblical values and divine covenants that unite the Jewish people.It is this clarity that has inspired David Friedman, former Ambassador to Israel and bestselling author of SLEDGEHAMMER, to write and lead a new movement: ONE JEWISH STATEThe Last, Best Chance to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.One of the leading architects of the historic Abraham Accords, David Friedman explains why in these turbulent and dangerous times, the simple phrase of three words - ONE JEWISH STATE - must be the guideline for Israel and the world's collective future.Each word of ONE JEWISH STATE is deeply instilled with meaning: ONE: There is only ONE country earmarked for the Jewish people; ONE. There are 49 Muslim countries, and many Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu countries, but only ONE Jewish State. JEWISH: This Jewish State is exactly that - JEWISH. It is the place where Jewish history was born, where Jewish values were created and where more Jews live than anywhere else. It is situated on the land given to the Jewish people by God in the words of the Holy Bible.STATE: Israel is not just a place; it is a country with sovereignty over its land and responsibility for its inhabitants. Today that sovereignty has been called into question by the nations of the world and even by some within Israel. But Israel cannot be Jewish without sovereignty over the places that make it Jewish. Friedman proposes a goal and a path, with God's help, for Israel to have complete sovereignty over all its biblical homeland - in a just manner that brings peace, prosperity, and essential human dignity to ALL of Israel's inhabitants. In ONE JEWISH STATE he will explore: The History of the Israeli-Palestinian ConflictThe True History of Jews and Muslims in the Disputed TerritoriesPast, Present & Future Legal IssuesPrior Proposals, Peace Plans and So-Called "Solutions," and Why They ALL FailedWhy Israel has Succeeded as a Regional Superpower While its Arab Neighbors Have FailedPalestinian Tribalism and the Creation of a Nationalist MovementReligious and Biblical Issues, Conflict and AgreementPalestinian and Muslim Leaders and Goals for Their PeoplesGeographic and Security Considerations for ALLHamas and the Gaza Strip - Insoluble for NowAmerican Evangelicals and Their InfluenceAmbassador Friedman's book persuasively explains the many reasons why in this massive world there MUST remain room for ONE JEWISH STATE.
