A thorough, engaging account of Israel's crucial role in 4,000
years of world history, ideology, religion, and politics, Israel in
World Relations provides one of the most thorough and balanced
resources now available for understanding the issues in the Middle
East today. With its emphasis on critical thinking, respect for
fact, and logical thought, it encourages readers to consider what
qualifies as truth, and it shows them how to apply those criteria
to the complicated and often emotional topic of Israel. Among the
challenging questions it addresses are the following: What counts
as history? Is the Jewish claim that there was a Temple in
Jerusalem objectively justifiable? Is there such a thing as a
"Jewish people"? Are today's Jewish people connected to the ancient
Israelites? What is democracy? Can a Jewish state be democratic?
Why has peace been so elusive between Israel and its neighbors?
What does international law say about sovereignty over Jerusalem?
Are the land-for-peace and two-state solutions practical strategies
for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority? What is a
just war? Was Israel's incursion into Gaza in 2009 "just"? What is
the real Israel-human rights abuser or humanitarian nation? The
book shows why the answers to these questions are relevant to our
understanding of world relations and to our own personal identity.
