SUMMARY:Max Blumenthal Book Tour - Goliath: Life and Loathing in Great
 er Israel
DESCRIPTION:Max Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and best-sel
 ling author, whose most recent book, Goliath: Life and Loathing in Gre
 ater Israel, has been critically acclaimed by several reputable intern
 ational journalists and scholars on the Middle East.\nFrom the book's 
 cover: \"In Goliath, New York Times bestselling author Max Blumenthal 
 takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Pa
 lestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the si
 ege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Pa
 lestinians deepens.  Beginning with the national elections carried out
  during Israel's war on Gaza in 2008-09, which brought into power the 
 country's most right-wing government to date, Blumenthal tells the sto
 ry of Israel in the wake of the collapse of the Oslo peace process.  A
 s Blumenthal reveals, Israel has become a country where right-wing lea
 ders like Avigdor Lieberman and Bibi Netanyahu are sacrificing democra
 cy on the altar of their power politics; where the loyal opposition la
 rgely and passively stands aside and watches the organized assault on 
 civil liberties; where state-funded Orthodox rabbis publish books that
  provide instructions on how and when to kill Gentiles; where half of 
 Jewish youth declare their refusal to sit in a classroom with an Arab;
  and where mob violence targets Palestinians and African asylum seeker
 s scapegoated by leading government officials as \"demographic threats
