Portrait of Reality - Rated 
This is a novel based on the reality faced by the people of Israel , a reality which a prejudiced and biased media will not tell you about.
. The reality of a people living in the shadow of Arab terror , relentless , brutal terror aimed at driving the Jews out of their ancient homeland.
It also brings us face to face with the ugliness of the international media , in their campaign to prepare the world for the genocide of the Jews in Israel.
The reaction of British journalist to the murder of a Jewish baby by an Arab sniper encapsulates the callous hatred of the British media towards Israel's Jews too well " Oh , a settler's brat got herself shot and then the IDF went in and demolished someones house'.
It is 2002 and pregnant Elise Margulies receives the news that her husband , Dr Jonathan Margulies , a cancer specialist at Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem, and their five year old daughter Illana have been kidnapped by Hamas. The evil organization , epitomised by the psycopathic monster Marwan Bahama , threatens to execute both of the hostages unless their insane demands are met.
When her 'Bubbee' Leah in Brooklyn , hears about this she gathers together three of her old friends , all survivors of Auschwitz , to fulfil an oath they made in the death camp, to always act as one.
Also in play are the British media, featuring self-hating Jewish journalist Julia Greenberg , , who sees Arab terrrorists as dowtrodden noble savages , and blames their own Jewish victims , and who manages to slant even this cruel act , to show more pro-Palestinian propaganda , so typical of the British media today, which would make Josef Goebbles proud.
The Covenant is a story of how the People of Israel love life -theirs and those of others (such as the many Arab patients treated by Dr Margulies) .
It is a portrait of reality.
It is a portrait of the strength of the Nation of Israel.
The Jewish Nation has survived many enemies - the Egyptians , Amalekites , Phillistines , Babylonians , Greeks , Romans , Spanish Inquisiotrs , Russian and Polisg pogromchiks and the Nazis , and will also triumph over the terror network of Hamas , Islamic Jihad , the PLO et al and their international supporters in the media and universities.
It highlights the indestructible spirit of the Jewish and Israeli people:
As Menachem Begin states : "If we learn and remember, we shall overcome our enemies, They will never succeed in enslaving us again. Never. Even if they overwhelm us we shall throw off their yoke...They will not break us.'
What an amazing story - Rated
I read this book in two days. It takes you through a whole range of emotions, is very topical and maybe someone who reads it might see things from a different view point and realise that things are not always as they seem in the media. A wonderful book, one of her best.
