Israel and the Western Powers, 1952-1960

By: Zach Levey

In this study, Zach Levey provides a comprehensive analysis of the development of Israel's foreign policy during the critical years of the 1950s, focusing particularly on relations between the Jewish state and the three Western powers involved in the Middle East arms race--the United States, Great Britain, and France. Drawing extensively on recently declassified archival materials, Levey challenges traditional accounts of the nature and success of Israel's policy goals. By 1950 Israel's primary foreign policy objective was the creation of a bilateral strategic relationship with the United States. The country's leaders failed to achieve that goal, though, even after the Suez-Sinai campaigns of 1956. According to Levey, it was this failure that motivated Israel to cultivate ties with the West's other leading powers, France and Britain. But cooperation with these countries was not the outgrowth of a gradually developing strategic understanding with either one, he argues. Instead, Israel viewed its French and British connections only as temporary substitutes for the desired eventual arrangement with the United States. Originally published in 1997.

Gravity Changes

By: Zach Powers

Gravity Changes is a collection of fantastical, off-beat stories that view the quotidian world through the lens of the absurd. Set in a surreal fictional world that is populated by strange characters—children who defy gravity, a man who marries a light-bulb, the Devil and his miracle-worker wife—these stories take wide steps outside of reality, finding new ways to illuminate truth.

Israel in Africa 1956-1976

By: Zach Levey

During the decade following its independence, Israel concentrated efforts upon the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union, hoping to purchase arms, obtain economic assistance and receive large-scale immigration. In 1957 Israel maintained only seven embassies, six in Europe and North America. Yet by 1963 Israel had 22 embassies in Africa, creating ties that for another decade withstood Arab influence, the impact of the Cold War and heightened African nationalism. At its zenith Israel conducted relations with 33 Black African states. How did this come about? Zach Levey presents the first archive-based analysis of Israel's strategy on the continent, from entry in the mid-1950s to the break in 1973, and examines Israeli diplomacy in the aftermath of that rupture. -- Publisher.
