From CreateSpace For too long, leaders of the world's most powerful nations and organized political and religious groups have been able to operate with their actions and policies explained away with slight-of-hand rhetoric and individual, case-by-case rationales. Author Hani Montan eschews these simplistic exercises in denial and attacks the current global state of crisis with objectivity and urgency. Pointing to the three key factors of money, nationalism, and religion, Montan paints a stark portrait for the future of America's global power. Specifically, after the Israeli-Arab conflict of 1967, extremist foreign relations policies adopted by Israel became the tenet for American foreign policy as well. This shift from benefactor to hegemonic power wielding ideology and physical might like a weapon has caused a serious rift between America, allies Israel and Great Britain, and the rest of the world. Now, America sits on the precipice of its socio-political and economic leadership slipping away forever. The solution is moderation. For peaceful coexistence to happen and the United States to prolong the life of its empire, Montan asserts the United States must convert to "win-win" deal making stratagem rather than its current winner-take-all philosophy. This will decrease the efficacy of extremism, increase global good will, and create much needed balance in world affairs. Filled with powerful analysis that details the current trajectory of international relations, Israel vs. America vs. the World furthers the continuing debate over American foreign policy, Muslim fundamentalist strategies of terror, and Israeli territory acquisitions policies. Reminiscent of the works of John J. Mearshimer and Noam Chomsky, author Hani Montan delivers with precision and clarity a compelling, thought-provoking, and fundamental challenge to world leaders and citizens alike to change our current course and forge a brave new world centered on tolerance and mutually beneficial solutions.

Since the calls of the Second Vatican Council, Roman Catholic theologians have sought to overcome an overarching problem facing Jewish–Christian relations, the concept of "supersessionism"; the idea that God has revoked the spiritual and historical promises made to the Jewish people in favour of granting those same privileges to a predominantly Gentile Church. Israel, the Church, and Millenarianism breaks new ground by applying an ancient principle to the problem of Israel’s "replacement": the early Church’s promotion of millennialism. Utilizing the best in Patristic research, Aguzzi argues that these earliest Christian traditions made room for the future of Israel because Christ’s reign in the Church was viewed as provisional to his historical reign on earth—Israel’s role in salvation history was and is not yet complete. Aguzzi’s research also opens the door for a greater Catholic understanding of the millennial principle, not shying away from its validity and relevance for understanding the importance of safeguarding Jewish particularity, while concluding that the Synagogue and the Church are indeed on a parallel trajectory; "…what will their…[Israel’s]…acceptance be but life from the dead?" (Romans 11:15). Ultimately, the divine will is fulfilled through both Christian and Jewish means, in history, while each community is dependent, in different ways, upon the unfolding of God’s future and the coming Parousia of Christ.
Since the early 1990s, Israel has greatly expanded a system checkpoints, walls and other barriers in the West Bank and Gaza that restrict Palestinian movement. Israel/Palestine examines how authors and filmmakers have grappled with the spread of these borders. Focusing on the works of Elia Suleiman, Raba'i al-Madhoun, Ghassan Kanafani, Sami Michael and Sayed Kashua, it traces how political engagement in literature and film has shifted away from previously common paradigms of resistance and coexistence and has become reorganised around these now ubiquitous physical barriers. Depictions of these borders interrogate the notion that such spaces are impenetrable and unbreakable, imagine distinct forms of protest, and redefine the relationship between cultural production and political engagement.

Israel has fought many wars since its founding in 1948, from conventional military conflicts with Arab forces to irregular clashes with guerrilla and terror groups. A study of these confrontations reveals strategic and military patterns. Written by a former member of the Israel Defense Forces, this book compares the wars fought in Lebanon against the Palestine Liberation Organization (1982) and against Hezbollah (2006), and in the Gaza Strip (1956, 1967, 2008-2009 and 2014). The author draws similarities between Israel and Western nations--mainly the United States and Britain--in their waging of conventional and irregular warfare, and offers a comparison of the Vietnam War to Israel's struggle with Hezbollah in the 1990s.
Israel, Church, and the Gentiles in the Gospel of Matthew

Israel, Church, and the Gentiles in the Gospel of Matthew addresses one of the central theological problems of Matthew's Gospel: what are the relationships between Israel and the Church and between the mission to Israel and the mission to the Gentiles? To answer these questions, Matthias Konradt traces the surprising transition from the Israel-centered words and deeds of Jesus (and his disciples) before Easter to the universal mission of Jesus' earliest followers after his resurrection. Through careful historical and narrative analysis, Konradt rejects the interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew that the Church replaced Israel in God's purposes--that is, the interpretation that because Israel rejected Jesus as Israel's Messiah, the Church replaced Israel in the role of God's chosen people. Konradt instead discovers in Matthew that the Israel- and universally-centered dimensions of God's saving purposes are far more positively connected. Matthew develops a narrative that features Jesus' identity as both the messianic Son of David and the universal Son of God.What developed into a mainly Gentile Church should never think of itself as the "new" or "true" Israel; rather, according to Matthew's Gospel, the Church represents an extension of the promises first made to Israel and now inclusive of the Gentiles.
