Conventional wisdom dictates that territory, politics, and the issue of Palestinian statehood are the root causes of this conflict, To stay updated but Mitchell Bard argues that the journalists, on a daily basis, commentators and experts that follow this line of thinking find us online! are missing the real crux of the dispute. In DEATH TO THE INFIDELS: Radical Islam's War Against the Jews [Palgrave Macmillan/ PUB DATE: September 23rd, 2014/ Hardcover/ 1-137-27907-9] he makes the case that radical Islam has transformed the conflict into an all-out religious war, making the prospects for peace even more precarious. There are countless books on Israel and Palestine, but none focus on this pivotal connection between the rise of radical Islam, and the evolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a political clash with a potential political solution, to a war in which faith trumps politics and compromise with the Jewish people is inconceivable to radical Muslims. Bard gets to the heart of this faith-based roadblock, first by exploring the history of Muslim animosity toward Jews, and how this hostility has morphed and grown over the last fourteen centuries. He goes on to detail the historical response of Muslims to Jewish immigration in the Middle East, and why the aspirations of the Jews and Arabs in Palestine proved to be mutually contradictory. The book analyses how the outcomes of the wars of 1967 and 1973 EFTA01154176  affected the psyche of the Arab people, and how the rise of Hamas changed the tide of the conflict and placed the focus on the eradication of Jewish sovereignty over Muslim land. Readers will gain insight on how the Arab Spring and Islamic winter have placed Israel in an even more perilous situation, and why the turmoil brought about by inter- Muslim concerns still did nothing to demolish the Arabist myth that Israel is to blame for all the problems in the Middle East. As Muslim attacks on Jews continue to occur around the world, and the global nature of this conflict becomes increasingly widespread, Bard envisions where this hateful aggression will lead in the future, where the greatest dangers lie as radical Islam continues to spread throughout Europe, and why a psychological breakthrough on one or both sides is the true prerequisite for peace.
