Ron Leshem is an author, journalist, and former Israeli intelligence officer. Relatives of his were murdered or kidnapped. Here, he depicts a deeply divided country, the day of terror, and its far-reaching consequences. On October 7, 2023, Hamas unleashed terror on Israel, and since then, the world has held its breath as events unfold rapidly. In his poignant text, Ron Leshem recounts that day and the developments that followed, bringing to light a profoundly divided nation. It is particularly the liberal, dialogue-seeking segment of society that has been affected. What will the consequences be? Leshem, an internationally renowned author ("Euphoria," "Beaufort"), journalist, and former Israeli intelligence officer, is also personally impacted. Hamas murdered his uncle and aunt and kidnapped Leshem's cousin, who is also a German citizen. This book offers a glimpse into the reality of Israel, presenting the country in a very personal way while conveying a broader picture. It is the timely book that makes the conflict comprehensible.
