N2  - The collapse of the Middle East Peace initiative in 2000 was, for different reasons, the catalyst for the rise of both Jihadists and NeoConservatives. This book explains how and why the Israel Palestine conflict is central to the efforts by both sides to polarize opinion. Also considers why several Western governments apparently failed to see the danger of hasty action in Iraq, and the fault lines of Islamic terrorism. Concludes with some suggestions on a political way forward for the Middle East that should benefit all parties
