Right Ms. Ahmed, and these Amazon reviewers work for th Kirkus and The New York Times Review of Books? On behalf of Mr. York, who has done nothing to you from what I’ve read, give it a rest.

Well, it’s pretty simple, Samuel: after literally decades of this kind of blistering rhetoric, flowing from nations that, in aggregate, have 50 times more cannon fodder and hundreds of billions in petrodollars to arm them with (with arms dealers at the ready, always, to supply them), Israel is somehow still around.

Which means that the continued existence of Israel must be convenient to their purposes. This weird idea had strong support from one of Israel’s most astute military intelligence chiefs. After years and years of reading the enemy’s propaganda about the need to destroy Israel (he was fluent and literate in Arabic), and waiting for the massive crushing blow that never came, I guess one day he smacked his forehead and cried, “Wait a minute: but this is all just *propaganda*! I’ve been reading *propaganda*! They *say*, but they don’t *do*. So they must be saying it all for some other reasons!”

And he hatched this bizarre theory of Israel’s convenience to these despotisms, a theory that has absolutely nothing going for it except that it makes far more sense than any other theory you can think of. As someone once said, once you’ve eliminated the impossible, whatever hypothesis is left might as well be considered the truth. The weirdness of the idea is no strike against it in this context. After, this is the Middle East we’re talking about here. He felt that there was hardly any better strategy for weakening the hostile neighboring, and/or turning their attentions to some other convenient external enemy, than to go with the two-state solution. Well, here we are today: with the Saudi royal family pressing its thumb down on the Palestinians to try to make two-state work, as they shift the focus to the Gathering Shi’ite threat.

Harkabi’s work is out of print in English. Probably still closely studied in Hebrew, though, and perhaps there are copies in Arabic being secretively passed around in the corridors of power in Amman and Riyadh, in plain brown wrappers.

Probably not unless it could be cooked up to 212F.

Absolutely. If the shoe fits.
