Summary: Israel At A Crossroads
Comment: "Israel At A Crossroads"

As noted in the forward, "This book is a revised and updated edition, in English, of the original in Hebrew, "Soul-Searching - Towards a Palestinian State."

Written through the prism of a Jewish patriot, it is an historical account of the author's path, from being in hiding from the Nazi occupation in l941-44, through his personal involvement in l944-45 in the punishment of Lithuanian Nazi collaborators; the ordeal of 250,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors, smuggled across Europe after cessation of hostilities in l945; their life in refugee camps in Germany and Austria in l945-48; and strategies used by the "Brichah" (Hebrew for Germany and Austria in l945-48; which facilitated their movement to Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel.

The author was rewarded for his leadership role with the Brichah by the newly formed State of Israel by being invited to enter the Foreign Ministry.

He earned a doctorate in political science, and for 50 years served the State of Israel as a diplomat.

A heavy dose of the politics behind policy decision is given through the lens of Gefen. The book is peppered with his personal view as events unfold from the formation of the Israli government in l948 by the Uniited Nations until the present time.

It is a must read for all jews, and for all who have a commitment to history and peace and justice in the world.
