The Netanyahu System – A Look at Israel

Lecture by Dr. Joseph Croitoru, historian and publicist, Denzlingen

No one has shaped the politics of Israel and the Middle East in recent decades as much as Benjamin Netanyahu. He is fervently revered and unwaveringly supported by some, while others deeply hate or fear him. Since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against him, his controversial position on the world stage has become unmistakable. But who is this man, where does he come from, what drives him, and how has he built his network of allies? This lecture explores these questions along important milestones of Netanyahu's political rise, which has been attributed from the very beginning to close relationships with influential pro-Israel circles in the United States. Joseph Croitoru, a profound expert on Middle Eastern politics, has discovered previously unknown documents and letters in archives: they are key to understanding the ideology and strategies of the long-serving Israeli Prime Minister.
