Semite vs Semite: Palestine, Erasure, and Resistance - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Semitic Paradox: Palestine, Erasure, and Resistance In a world where myth has replaced memory and silence is sold as diplomacy, Semitic Paradox rips the veil off history. From ancient Canaan to Gaza's modern siege, this book traces the long arc of Palestine's existence - not as a footnote, but as a birthplace of civilizations, faiths, and resistance. With unflinching clarity, Mayar dismantles the distortion that Palestinians are outsiders in their own land. The book journeys through Roman conquest, Herodian betrayal, Byzantine dominion, Islamic transitions, and colonial rupture - culminating in the ongoing erasure by a state built upon displacement. At its heart lies a devastating irony: Semitic peoples killing Semitic kin, all while the world stands paralysed. This is not a neutral history. It is a weapon of truth. A mirror held up to empire. A requiem for the erased and a rallying cry for the awake. Blending rigorous scholarship with poetic defiance, Semitic Paradox is an urgent intervention - for classrooms, encampments, and every place where history dares to rise.
