1917. From Palestine to the Land of Israel

There are a few moments in history that create the destiny of a nation. For Israel, one of those moments was 1917.

This moment of history touched the imagination and sympathy of people. It repaired two millennium of injustice to the Jewish people by restoring them to their ancestral homeland. By retelling the critical events that took place a hundred years ago many of the injustices being practised against Israel today can be rectified.

This book recalls the spirit of Zionism, a spirit of self-sacrifice and determination that led to the birth of the one liberal democracy in the Middle East. This book covers the embryonic stage of that struggle in which both Palestinian Jews and Christian Zionists played a brave and committed role in the destiny of the Jewish people.

The territory known as Palestine became a critical crucible of World War One. It swung the tide of war in favour of the Allied forces. It was in essence the arena in which a clash of three empires took place and a Jewish state emerged out of the ashes.
The battlefields in Palestine were the backdrop to the realisation of a two thousand year dream by passionate Jews to establish a national homeland in the land of their forefathers.

1917. From Palestine to the Land of Israel is a tale of heroism and villainy as seen through the eyes of those who played important roles in the destiny of the land. This book draws you back a century into a kaleidoscope of swirling events that changed our world. You will be sucked into the maelstrom of a Middle East in turmoil, feel the passions and share the motives of those who placed their stamp on history.
