Al-Shabaka Director Nadia Hijab reviews Max Blumenthal’s new book, “Goliath,” “an important touchstone,” with its “fast-paced journalistic style,” its “constantly juxtaposing past and present,” its “moments of hope,” its “keen sense of absurdity,” and its twin threads: Israeli “extreme right-wing nationalists’ consolidation of power since the collapse of the peace process,” and the “direct line between the Zionist ideology of the late 1800s and the racist state of today.”
