Where is the source . This is just some random text


The text is from Wikipedia, which summarizes the ideas from the book, both of which have been linked/referenced in the comment already.

Comments on the Israel situation are my thoughts.

Is there anything else I missed?


Israel is simply protecting itself and the attack is retaliation to the islamic religious terrorism.

How is this book supports any thing even remotely in either favor.

If anything , this applies more to religious terrorists ie. Hamas.

Not to a national democratic state


The book doesn't support anything in "their" favor. The idea boils down to nobody being "them".

Related part from Wikipedia:

There you go.
