Rise and Kill First The Secret History of Israel's Targeted Assassinations

"

I like remember early in the year? I was talking about how I was reading that book rise and kill first about running about the about the the early days of Israel the Masada days to what it gets up to like 2012

Yeah, but once it got morally ambivalent I got out right right when they were hunting Nazis

I was fucking in but by the time it got to the part where oh, this is a deeply deeply troubling situation I was like fuck it. It's time for some fiction. You know what I mean?

"

Even reading this book for a year now, it's a slow go. It's so long. It's so long. I've heard this discussion.

The first 50 pages, it's Holocaust survivors hunting Nazis around the world. Couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Ten out of ten. No notes.

Oh, they drop the Hungarian to say in German, be quiet or I'll kill you to a fucking Nazi who killed their family. Yes.

The nonfiction book I'm reading is called Rise and Kill First. Great book. It's fascinating about the Mossad and targeted assassinations in the early days of the founding of Israel.

Read the book Rise and Kill First. It's just a complete dictionary of all of the assassinations that Israel does.

I was reading this book about the history of Israel and the Mossad.

And the first 100 pages, it's morally unambiguous because they're just hunting and capturing and killing Nazis.

Then I put it down.

Wait, I think I actually read this book.

Rise and Kill First.

I was like, I don't remember the name, but it's kind of like Eat, Pray, Love something.

It's like Rise, Kill. I knew it was like a three word thing.

Rise, Kill First, Eat, Pray, Love.

And like, yo, I see the connection.

Like I should have continued reading it, but I simply did it.

And I realized like, oh, I don't want to read the book about Israel's complicated history.

I want to read a book about Jews hunting Nazis.

The most expert journalist on this subject run in Bergman from the New York Times brought a superb book called Rise and Kill First about this program of targeted assassinations.

He says that there really thousands of these operations over 30 plus years have been almost always tactical successes.

But you have to be honest, that in terms of overall strategy they haven't really brought Israel closer to the kind of settlement of these problems that it seeks.
