סיפור חרבת חזעה Download ☆ 108 Published just months after the founding of the state of Israel and the end of the 1948 war the novella Khirbet Khizeh was an immediate sensation when it first appeared Since then the book has continued to challenge and disturb even finding its way onto the school curriculum in Israel The various debates it has prompted would themselves make Khirbet Khizeh worth reading but the novella. Painstaking and painful story describing the forced removal of Palestinians from their land in Israel s War of Independence Reminiscent of Tim O Brien in its humanization of the enemy Protagonist is Israeli soldier who consistently uestions and only briefly and unsuccessfully tries to rationalize official policy Author unflinchingly describes brutality of dispossession and like all good war stories makes clear the dehumanization that occurs to oppressor and oppressed alike Brave account that pretty much avoids the how and why those rationalizations we arrive to that point and instead focuses on the disastrous and tragic impact and hints presciently at the future conseuences on those caught in the middle of cataclysmic events

סיפור חרבת חזעה Download ☆ 108 Is much than a vital historical document it is also a great work of art Yizhar’s haunting lyrical style and charged view of the landscape are in many ways as startling as his wrenchingly honest view of modern Israel’s primal scene Considered a modern Hebrew masterpiece Khirbet Khizeh is an extraordinary and heartbreaking book that is destined to be a classic of world literatu. It s not KK it s me that this book is wise I can agree with absolutely That it is still shockingly wise as the blurb suggests is a little bit much Turns out the Israeli occupation wasn t and isn t all that noble a thing The prose was decent but not so good that it took me away from the obviousness of the rest of the book I m glad this was written that it s still in print and that people are reading it But I think I just expected too much

סיפור חרבת חזעה Download ☆ 108 Exhilarating How often can you say about a harrowing unuiet book that it makes you wrestle with your soul Neel Mukherjee The Times LondonIt’s 1948 and the Arab villagers of Khirbet Khizeh are about to be violently expelled from their homes A young Israeli soldier who is on duty that day finds himself battling on two fronts with the villagers and ultimately with his own conscience . About two weeks ago there was a review of this republished novella on the back page of the NYTimes book review that I couldn t resist I immediately got the novella and wasn t disappointed It was published in May 1949 and describes the feelings and moral dilemma of the soldier narrator who is part of an Israeli detail sent to destroy a Palestinian village As he watches the villagers driven into exile he becomes and outraged but ultimately remains an observer not an activist The sensitivity of the narrator to his own growing discomfort with the operation is visceral the descriptions of the bewildered villagers and the desperate mothers are painful and the reader feels the fear of exile as palpably as the villagers Almost 60 years later the Afterword written by a contemporary activist who works with a Palestinian Israeli peace group offers hope In the meeantime however too many other people are suffering similar fates
