Max Blumenthal's Forthcoming Book on Israel

Max Blumenthal's forthcoming book, with the working title Israel Apocalypse is now titled Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel. It will be released next April under the Nation Books imprint of Basic Books. The synopsis reads, in part:

...[A] devastating journey through Israel and an anatomy of the extremist takeover of a nation. What Blumenthal finds is a country overrun by extremists, where the Jewish Right has hijacked constitutional protections for both minorities and those in the majority who dissent. Blumenthal investigates the roots of these cultural and political shifts, as well as the malign American right-wing funders who are bankrolling Israeli extremism.

Thos who follow him on Twitter will probably get a sense of deja vu when they read the book, because most of his tweets concern Israel. It's as if the book is being written bit by bit.
