About the author

Mikhael Manekin is an Israeli activist against Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. He was the executive director of Breaking the Silence, a veterans' organization, and of Molad, the Center for the Renewal of Israeli Democracy. He is a founder and director of the Alliance Fellowship, a Jewish-Palestinian political leadership network, and a founding leader of the Faithful Left, a movement of religious Jews fighting oppression and inequality.

Summary

End of Days is both a meditation on Jewish morality in the age of Israeli Jewish power, and a cri du coeur by an Orthodox Israeli Jew, a former combat officer in the IDF, for Israelis to look into the Jewish religious ethical tradition for an alternative to the secular and religious Zionism that sanctifies power, statehood, and sovereignty. Appealing to a wealth of Jewish sources from the Bible to the present, including medieval Jewish ethical literature, rabbinic sources, Jewish law, and contemporary Israeli thought, the book presents an argument against Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians and the suppression of their rights from the perspective of a modern Israeli religious Jew.
