This book discerns in the history of Zionism the plot of a Shakespearean tragedy. A small band of European Zionists enters the world stage in late 19th century, determined to create a Jewish state in Palestine.This is their solution to the 'abnormal' condition of European Jews, who are without a land and are not a nation. To achieve this, they must seize Palestine; induce Western Jews to become colonists; and, above all, recruit Western powers to adopt their colonial project. Zionists canonly succeed by creating Islamicate enemies; they need resurgent anti-Semitism to send Jewish colonsto Palestine; and they must persuade/coerce the West to stand behind their colonial project. In succeeding, theZionists merely transplant Jewish abnormality from Europe to the Middle East - and make it worse. In Europe, Jewish-Gentile frictions were local problems; in Israel, ominously, they have come to form the pivot ofa global conflict that pits the West against the Islamicate.
