Uris' haj and dogma. Review on Haj, The - Leon Uris

The most racial piece of fiction in modern american writings is leon uris's the haj. it is a book that ruthlessly stereotypes the arabs and muslims in the harshest manner. it misleadingly claims the status of unfalsifiable and indisputably accurate history. the author is blinded to the extreme to all objectivity and lacking in all human attutide towards the arab other, being as he is a thorogoing racist. the author also uses an arab to tell his own story, alleging the claim of objectivity. in his introduction to the novel which is also designed as a book of history, the author affirms that his novel is true to reality and is a life-like record of a true situation lived in the past and continues to be lived in the present. morever, the novel shows the arab savages and dwarfs in a very miserable manner, capable of nothing except backwardness and fostering no human feelings ohter than the fanatic hatred. they don't know love or any ohter positive trait. their life is hateful, gloomy and disgusting. the gigantic jew, on the other hand, is civilized and civilizing and tries to save these from their labyrinth. the jew is shown as peaceful, peace-loving and philanthropist. in short, uris is a zionist capable of nothing but hatred anf misanthropy, and he lived with a most distressing imperial mentality.
