Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Israel’s Real Target is Not Hamas

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Using candid statements from Israeli sources, Glazebrook develops the thesis that the principle of "divide and conquer" has been the Zionist's major principle, if not the sole principle, guiding their actions not only toward Palestinians, but all of the neighboring countries.
