A Place Among the Nations: Israel and the World - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Benjamin Netanyahu traces the origins, history and politics of Israel's relationship with the Arab world and the West, providing a view of the country's precarious situation among the Arabs, and revealing his own plan for peace in the Middle East. The author questions how this miniscule Jewish state can have developed into the hostile target, not only of an Arab world more than 500 times its size, but of so much of the West. He wonders how what he identifies as the only democracy in the Middle East has become the focus of Western criticism of the kind never directed at the surrounding Arab tyrannies. He argues against the lies which he feels are levelled against Israel today, by using the facts of ancient and modern history to establish his country's case. Mr Netanyahu believes that an enduring peace between Arabs and Israelis is attainable, but only if the nature of Middle-Eastern politics and the volatile forces within Arab and Islamic society are taken into account. He puts forward his plan for an Israeli renewal, and calls for sweeping political and economic reforms to enable the Jewish state to achieve a permanent position on the international stage.
