Reviews

“An eye-opening, sobering analysis of the way right-wing politics have taken over Israeli policies and have upended Middle East peace plans. It is probably the most updated, well-documented and astute analysis of the rationale behind Israel’s 2024 government and policies as they come to bear on the various conflicts underway in the Middle East.” – Dan Avnon “This book is a very engaging and learned look at how conservatism radicalized into a more reactionary form of anti-democratic politics in Israel. … The book integrates itself well into broader conversations about the global right which should give it an even wider appeal.” – Matthew McManus
