“I am glad to announce the publication of my new book, The Victory of Zionism” – Emmanuel Navon
The book is available on Amazon. To purchase a hard copy, please click here*. To purchase a digital version, please click here*.
The book’s subtitle is “Reclaiming the Narrative about Israel’s Domestic, Regional, and International Challenges.”
While I did not write this book as a direct answer to Peter Beinart’s The Crisis of Zionism*, I do provide an alternative reading of Zionism’s achievements and challenges.
The book covers three topics: Israeli politics, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and Israel’s foreign policy. On each of these topics, my main argument can be summarized as follows:
- Israel’s democracy and Jewishness are not threatened by the status quo with the Palestinians but by a combination of judicial activism and of foreign interference;
- The Arab-Israeli conflict is unsolvable but the “demographic ticking bomb” is a sham and, in the absence of a solution, I am willing to settle with being a success story surrounded by failed states;
- Israel’s emergence as a technological powerhouse and as an energy exporter enables it, like never before in its history, to play by the rules of Realpolitik.
It is my hope that this book will enrich the debates on Israel’s domestic, regional, and international challenges.

I have and read the book, and in my opinion, a very good and clear description of our nonending Arab and peace problem. At the same time, it makes me very proud to be one of the Israelians.!! :victory:
