Israel is Real: Our Answer to the Critics of Zionism By: Benzion Baruch The book provides an alternative, realistic insight about the Israeli-Arab Conflict and how the Jewish State of Israel can and must strengthen itself from the political quagmire that so-called Super Power countries, acting as Third World Brokers, have put Israel through to accept a Two-State solution as the only solution. In addition, Israel is Real: Our Answer to the Critics of Zionism focuses on how Israeli leadership historically has been dismally weak where it has succumbed to these policies at the expense of Israel’s own safety, security, and stability.

The development of the Spanish Navy in the early modern Mediterranean triggered a change in the balance of political and economic power for the coastal populations of the Hispanic Monarchy. The establishment of new permanent squadrons, endowed with very broad jurisdictional powers, was the cause of many conflicts with the local authorities and had a direct influence on the economic and production activities of the region. Manuel Lomas analyzes the progressive consolidation of these institutions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, their influence on the mechanisms of justice and commerce, and how they contributed to the reconfiguration of the jurisdictional system that governed the maritime trade in the Mediterranean.
