Bibi: Basic Books
Autor Anshel Pfefferen Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2018
Descoperim în această lucrare semnată de Anshel Pfeffer o analiză riguroasă care depășește simpla cronică politică, oferind o perspectivă structurală asupra modului în care Benjamin Netanyahu a remodelat statul Israel. Subliniem faptul că autorul nu se limitează la scandalurile recente, ci investighează rădăcinile ideologice ale familiei Netanyahu, explicând cum un brand de sionism cândva marginal a ajuns să domine scena publică. Remarcăm modul în care Anshel Pfeffer decodează succesul lui „Bibi” ca pe o victorie a „outsiderilor” asupra elitei liberale care a pus bazele națiunii, transformând profilul socio-politic al țării într-un hibrid complex de hi-tech și tradiționalism. Cititorii familiarizați cu Warrior de Ariel Sharon vor aprecia în acest volum o abordare critică și analitică, spre deosebire de tonul autobiografic al memoriilor lui Sharon. În timp ce Warrior se concentrează pe parcursul militar și pe leadership-ul în perioade de conflict, Bibi oferă o radiografie a supraviețuirii politice și a modului în care identitatea personală a liderului a devenit sinonimă cu identitatea de stat. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Golda Meir de Meron Medzini, care funcționează ca un ghid de referință cronologic, lucrarea lui Pfeffer este o biografie narativă densă, de 640 de pagini, care pune accent pe mecanismele puterii și pe schimbarea de paradigmă de la idealismul secular la naționalismul religios. Este o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea politicii contemporane din Orientul Mijlociu, oferind contextul necesar pentru a descifra tensiunile dintre globalism și tribalism.

De ce să citești această carte
Această biografie este indispensabilă pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă nu doar omul, ci și mecanismele care au transformat Israelul modern. Anshel Pfeffer oferă o perspectivă lucidă asupra modului în care ideologia și moștenirea familială pot modela destinul unei națiuni. Cititorul câștigă o viziune clară asupra fracturilor sociale dintre liberali și conservatori, într-o analiză factuală ce explică longevitatea politică a lui Netanyahu.
Descriere scurtă
Benjamin Netanyahu is embroiled in numerous scandals, all of his own making, and may soon be ousted from the office he has held longer than any prior Israeli Prime Minister outside of David Ben Gurion. But Bibi, as he is known by friend and foe alike, is no stranger to controversy. For many in Israel and elsewhere, he is an embarrassment, a threat to democracy, even a precursor to Donald Trump. He nevertheless continues to dominate Israeli public life--and he may yet survive his current crises, the most challenging of his career. How can we explain Netanyahu's rise, his hold on Israeli politics, and his outsized role on the world's stage?
In Bibi, the Haaretz journalist Anshel Pfeffer argues that we must view Netanyahu as representing the triumph of the underdogs in the Zionist enterprise. Born in 1949, one year after the state of Israel itself, Netanyahu came of age in a nation dominated by liberal, secular Zionists. Yet Netanyahu's grandfather and father bequeathed to him a brand of Zionism integrating Jewish nationalism and religious traditionalism, and he identified with the groups at the margins of Israeli society: right-wing Revisionists, orthodox, Mizrahi Jews, and small-time professionals living in the new towns and cities dotting the Israeli landscape. Netanyahu cultivated each faction individually and then fused them into a coalition that has frequently proven unstoppable in Israeli politics.
Netanyahu is also a child of America, where he spent many years as a young man, and where he learned the techniques of modern political campaigns as well as the necessity of controlling the media cycle. The product of the affluent East Coast Jewish community and the Reagan era, Netanyahu's politics and worldview were formed as much by American Cold War conservatism as by his family's hardline right-wing Zionism.
As Pfeffer demonstrates in this penetrating biography, Netanyahu's influence will endure even if his career soon comes to an end. The Israel he has helped make is a hybrid of ancient phobia and high-tech hope, tribalism and globalism--just like the man himself.

"AnshelPfeffer has done something hard to do. He's given us an understanding, evencompassionate, portrait of Benjamin Netanyahu--the family, the formativeexperiences, the logic of his belligerent ideology--while keeping his distancefrom Netanyahu's stances and exposing many of the unpleasant truths that lie beneaththe surface Netanyahu works so hard to polish. Not coincidentally, Pfeffer hasalso given us a short-hand account of Israel's political history. Pfeffer isessential reading in Haaretz. His book gives Western readers someidea why."—Bernard Avishai, author of The Hebrew Republic
