CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 3, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Israel's recent attack on a suspected terrorist camp inside Syrian borders raises new questions about the lengths Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his government will go to repress terrorism in his nation. As the United Nations deliberates what action to take and the United States attempts to calm Israel's aggression, the "Road to Peace" plan seems as though it's hit a dead end. However, author Charles A. Campagne has an idea, which he details in his new book, Holocaust 2: The "Not So Holy" Holyland (now available through 1stBooks).
Campagne, at first, sided with Israel, but after witnessing Palestinians losing their homeland within a generation's time and then being labeled "terrorists" for fighting back, he changed his mind. Campagne cites the aggressive leadership of Sharon as a catalyst to many of the problems Israel currently faces.
"This leadership can only result in the eventual defeat of Israel just like Hitler's leadership could only lead to the defeat of Germany," Campagne says.
Holocaust 2 covers the history of this volatile region in detail, including the current actions taken by Prime Minister Sharon. He also deals with two heavy topics of importance in Israel: the Intifada and the suicide bomber phenomenon. He suggests that the world has two choices. The first is the current path, which he sees leading only to despair and ultimate destruction. The second is a new, fresh approach to what Campagne believes is the only rational solution left.
Holocaust 2 drills to the core of the situation, beyond the propaganda and smokescreens.
Born in Saskatchewan, Canada during the Great Depression, Campagne spent four years in a poorly maintained boarding school, which he refers to as his "Concentration Camp Years" because it coincided with the years of holocaust in Europe. He taught school for nine years in Saskatchewan, followed by 20 more years in Alberta. Campagne has long been an advocate of the Palestinians' plight, and it was the April 2002 attack on the Jenin refugee camp that prompted him to pen Holocaust 2, his first book.
