Israel at 68: Beneath the Glitter. 330 $aThis book is designed to illuminate one of the most enduring and complex international conflicts in the 20th and early 21st centuries. It begins with a discussion of historical roots, noting four reinforcing levels of conflict: incompatible belief systems, Islam and Judaism; competing national goals; inter-communal rivalry; and discordant pledges to the principal adversaries by Great Britain during World War I. An array of political and military acts from 1933 to 1947 culminated in the UN Partition Resolution (29 November 1947), Israel's proclamation of Independence (14 May 1948), and the beginning of the first of nine Arab/Israel wars the next day. The book then analyzes the following dimensions of this unresolved conflict: the struggle for Jerusalem since 1947; perceptions of the conflict and the conditions of peace by leaders and officials; their acts of violence and of political hostility; the Arab/Israel military balance and their behavior during the two most significant wars (June 1967 and October 1973); the mostly-failed attempts at conflict resolution from 1937 to 2014; the causes of continuing deadlock, except for two cold peace agreements (Egypt-Israel, Israel-Jordan), and the author's assessments of the way out of the seven-decade impasse. The book concludes with an analysis of Israel at 68, mostly its policies and behavior towards the Palestinians from 1967 to 2016. . 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aPeace 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aElections 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aElectoral Politics 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aElections. 615 14$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aDiplomacy. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aElectoral Politics. 676 $a320.956 700 $aBrecher$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0137113 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163005303321 996 $aDynamics of the Arab-Israel Conflict$92129344 997 $aUNINA
