Will animosity towards Jews and the State of Israel never end? This
book ventures to rectify the misrepresentations, propaganda,
obsessions, and falsifications widely disseminated in the media and
public discourse, explaining the motivations behind them. The
issues Michael Curtis scrutinizes are complicated and
controversial, sometimes even baffling, but he reviews them in as
objective and rigorous a manner as possible. Curtis divides his
arguments into five key areas: political correctness and the
obsessive attack on Israel; the surprising and disturbing rise of
antisemitism; the Arab world and the Islamist threat; the
Palestinian narrative; and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The
first section focuses on the censorious attitude toward Israel
taken by many in the international community. A second section
consists of essays on the increase of contemporary antisemitism in
Arab and Muslim countries as well as European democracies. In the
third section, the author addresses changes in the Arab world, the
threat of Iranian ambitions, the new alliance of Sunni Islamist
states, and the growing strength and danger of Islamic
fundamentalism and extremist behavior. His fourth section, on the
Palestinian Narrative, details the acceptance by many critics of
Israel and the international media of the Palestinian narrative of
victimhood. Finally, the section on the Israeli Palestinian
conflict details the continuing struggle within the Middle East
between Israelis and Palestinians. This book is a must read for
historians, political scientists, Jewish studies scholars, and all
those interested in one of the most volatile and controversial
regions in the world today.
