Hatred, Lies, and Violence in the World of Islam examines the
torrential flood of anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish, and anti-Zionist
propaganda that permeates many Muslim societies. Raphael Israeli
locates the source of this anti-Semitic sentiment in the
inadequacies and insecurities of Muslim states. By demonizing and
delegitimizing Israel and Jews, they seek to eliminate a successful
counterexample of their own failures, thus putting an end to their
own "humiliation."
Beyond mapping the distribution of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish
propaganda in the Arab and Islamic worlds, Israeli uses
case-studies to illustrate the premises of this study: the
Palestinians, who have a direct stake in battling Israel; Turkey,
which now claims leadership of the Arab and Sunni Muslim worlds;
and Shi'ite Iran, which provides a more extreme example of both
hatred and disregard for fact and history while threatening to
destroy Israel.
Israeli documents the worldwide collaboration between Jew-haters
of all sorts, explaining the exponential growth of Jew-hatred on
the Internet, with thousands of new hate sites added every year,
outpacing Jew-hatred in the traditional media. He places
anti-Semitism in a broader tradition of political lies and
political deceit. In the final chapter, Israeli considers the
possibility of reversing anti-Jewish agitation in Muslim countries,
which he finds unlikely because so many of the region's regimes are
built on foundations of anti-Semitism.
