Israel and the Clash of Civilisations: Iraq, Iran and the Plan to Remake the Middle East

After two serious stuff (supposed to be very serious stuff, but ended up boring like hell, LOL)... here I am with another serious stuff except changing it to something that really interest me all the while. First of all, I must admit that I am not familiar with Middle East historical stuff. This is why any books related to Middle East stuff will be my cup of tea. Secondly, I am back to history books. Any sources of historical books usually have special place in my heart. So, this book although published long time ago; I am pretty confidence that it will still be a book that helps to further enhance my knowledge...

Ended up... frankly, I spent quite a lot of time in digesting this book. Reason is... I thought the author did do well that it brought out a lot of questions in my mind. First of all, regardless whether you are pro-Israel or anti-Israel, nobody can deny the facts that occupation of Palestine land is similar to the colonial settler occupations. As such, the morale issue and perhaps a straight right or wrong, did enough to raise many questions in my head (which I thought the author did answered some while ignored some). Secondly, the author seems align with Hamas and Iranian government. Hence, I think readers worldwide may not agree with some of his points. Furthermore, Iranian government is no more the previous government (the time when the author wrote this book). As a result, certain things seem irrelevant to view from current situation.

Lastly, there will be a lot of debates when occupations by outsiders (which will usually end up as wars) are not justify and legalized in the first place. Pre-revolutionary China had proved in history that the final results will not favor mankind development in long run. Besides, there is a hidden element (oil) behind all this. Hence, the debate on this topic will goes on forever. Sad to say this... but it is a true facts.

Overall, I may not agree 100% with all the opinions from the author. However, the shrewd analysis of the Zionist state's schemes is really fantastic. As such, from a full rating of 10, I am going to give 7. This book certainly deserved some attention for those who love to read about Middle East.
