Israel and the Palestinians

Israel and the Palestinians: The Naked Truth! is an exposé of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It covers pivoting events that led to the rebirth of Israel, the profound effect that history has upon the current state of affairs, and it offers an honest account of Israel’s faults. The Arab-Israeli conflict is not a battle over land nor is it rooted in ancient claims of two peoples to the same small piece of real estate in the Middle East; but rather, it is a cultural clash that ripples across the globe. I hope my book answers some of the toughest questions regarding Israel and the Palestinian people. It takes the reader through an historical timeline that puts many issues into proper perspective. I attempted to clarify many of the misconceptions that exist regarding this seemingly endless conflict, and there is harsh criticism for both Israelis and the leaders of the Arab world. Having taught for over 14 years at a multi-cultural university in Israel, I interacted with Druze, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish students and staff members. My professional academic life, coupled with my informal involvement in Israeli politics, inspired me to pen this account. I hope Israel and the Palestinians: The Naked Truth! has sparked your interest.

500 Years from You

500 Years from You, a 70,000-word historical fiction novel, is a love story in the tradition of Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life, Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander, and Ayelet Waldman’s Love and Treasure, which, also incorporates the ground-breaking research of past life therapy by Brian Weiss, M.D. “They first met in 1580, when they fled the Inquisition by boarding a ship on the eastern shores of Italy. They met again in 1938, in Hamburg, when a few hundred survivors managed to seek passage aboard a ship on route to Havana, fleeing the rise of Hitler and the apogee of Nazi Germany. The past and the present come to life with doctors DAVID Stern and SIMON Canavaro. They are Clinical Psychologists who specialize in hypnotherapy and past life regressions. David has been experiencing a growing anxiety and undergoes a past-life regression under the care of his friend and colleague, Simon. David is soon introduced to KATE Brennan, a young, attractive woman who furtively suffers from a paralyzing fear of the ocean. David proposes past life regression therapy to treat her thalassophobia before her upcoming honeymoon. Unbeknownst to them, their past-life memories are heroic tales of how both David and Kate overcame great odds to remain together in their past lives. It is in the present that destiny seems to be pulling them apart. Fate and the inner-strength that kept them together before might not be able to break through time. This is a story of the struggle of two souls wanting to come together once again. This is a story of the miracle of matchmaking.” I have always felt attracted to historical dramas, and I have strived to incorporate tales of my family’s past into my stories.

Israel Redeemed

Rabbi Kahane’s last speech Rabbi Meir Kahane’s famous address to the National Press Club was given a short while after he received one seat in the Israeli Knesset in 1984. He gave a similar speech in New York the night he was murdered, with the added emphasis on the need of every Jew to return to his homeland. Note that this speech was given before the Oslo Accords were signed and before the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) received land and weapons and became known as the Palestinian Autonomy.
