Will Israel Survive?

by Mitchell G. Bard

While most people view the Palestinian conflict as the greatest threat to Israel's survival, it is in fact only one of the nation's long-term concerns. Aside from terrorists seeking to destroy it, Israel must contend with tensions between religious and secular Jews, the demographic issues posed by a quickly growing Arab population, internal political divisions, and disputes over the water sources that are critical to its survival. In the face of these challenges, the country's future can seem precarious. Bard paints a realistic picture of the road ahead with a hopeful Israel will not only survive, but will endure long into the future.

It is crammed to the rooftop full of facts, and the dilemmas that Israel faces are really challenging, but this is not a challenging book.
