Raphael Israeli
Israel's New Strategic Dilemmas: Survival or Revival?
Strategic Book

Israel's New Strategic Dilemmas: Survival or Revival? is an important and fascinating reading experience.
It details the strategic problems facing Israel today as a result of the asymmetrical
terrorist wars imposed on it. With the motive of delegitimizing Israel, and forcing it to react against civilian terrorists who dwell amidst other civilian populations, these wars create an untenable situation of retaliation and casualties. Unless Israel succeeds in making the necessary reforms in the strategic areas of security and domestic affairs, its chances for survival are dwindling.
This book will shift your perspective on a highly contentious and complex topic.

Raphael Israeli
Muslim antisemitism in Christian Europe
Transaction Publishers

Modern Arab and Muslim hostility towards Jews and Israel is rooted not only in the Arab-Israeli conflict and traditional Islamic teaching but also in Christian anti-Semitic attitudes brought into the Islamic world by Western colonial powers. In this volume, Raphael Israeli, professor of Islamic, Chinese and Middle Eastern history at the Hebrew University, examines how the worsening situation in the Middle East together with large waves of Muslim immigration to Europe and North America has brought about a commingling of two anti-Semitic traditions. Israeli lays out the nature and ideologies of the Muslim immigrant world and shows how in each European country they create their own ethnic sub-groups and religious communities, often in competition with each other.
