This is the first English-language book ever to apply
psychoanalytic knowledge to the understanding of the most
intractable international struggle in our world today--the
Arab-Israeli conflict. Two ethnic groups fight over a single
territory that both consider to be theirs by historical
right--essentially a rational matter. But close historical
examination shows that the two parties to this tragic conflict have
missed innumerable opportunities for a rational partition of the
territory between them and for a permanent state of peace and
prosperity rather than perennial bloodshed and misery.
Falk suggests that a way to understand and explain such irrational
matters is to examine the unconscious aspects of the conflict. He
examines large-group psychology, nationalism, group narcissism,
psychogeography, the Arab and Israeli minds, and suicidal
terrorism, and he offers psychobiographical studies of Ariel Sharon
and Yasser Arafat, two key players in this tragic conflict
today.
