Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
The other reviewer writes, "And Lindsay Bremner has an article on bantustans in which she fails to note the similarities between Israel (a small area into which Jews in the Middle East have been stuffed, while Jews are not particularly welcome elsewhere in the region) and a bantustan!"
This is slightly lunatic. Most of the Jewish inhabitants of Israel have been "stuffed" into that space by the systematic policy of relocation and nation-building known as Zionism, not herded into it by their hostile neighbors. Among Israel's other striking differences from a bantustan, we should perhaps note its (a) higher standard of living than surrounding states, (b) regional military superpower status, (c) large nuclear arsenal, (d) unique relationship to the world's sole military hyperpower, the US, entailing billions in foreign military and economic aid (largest recipient in both categories of US aid for decades), (e) thriving global trade relationships, (f) thriving tourism industry, (g) inhabitants' freedom to travel or, in most cases, emigrate at any time to Europe or the US (among other destinations), (h) military occupation of adjacent territory and illegal settlement of much of that occupied territory. An archetypal bantustan!
OK -- this isn't exactly a review of the book. But neither was the previous post. I give 5 stars because rational critical discussion of Israel's behavior is sorely needed, and going by my knowledge of Sorkin's earlier anthology on Jerusalem (The Next Jerusalem), this book is highly likely to be rational and responsible.
