Why so? One explanation speaks of the timeless clash between Arab and Jewish civilizations and a heroic Zionist mission to rescue Eastern Jews from backward nations and unceasing persecution. Avi Shlaim tears up this script. His parents had many Muslim friends in Baghdad and no interest in Zionism. As anti-Semitism surged in Iraq, the Zionist underground fanned the flames. Yet when Iraqi Jews fled to Israel, they faced an uncertain future, their history was rewritten to serve a Zionist narrative. This memoir breathes life into an almost forgotten world. Weaving together the personal and the political, \u003ci\u003eThree Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh perspective on Arab-Jews, caught in the crossfire of Zionism and nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Avi Shlaim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798874782771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tantor Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e MP3 CD","brand":"Avi Shlaim","offers":[{"title":"MP3 CD","offer_id":46795484463359,"sku":"9798874782771","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56772a3b-c766-4594-910d-52fc661133ff.jpg?v=1744947747","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-worlds-avi-shlaim-9798874782771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
