The Middle East hosts three civil wars (Libya, Yemen, and Syria) and many insurgencies (Algeria, Sudan, the Sinai, Turkey, Iraq, Iran). It also features high-profile diplomacy (Israeli-Palestinian, Turkey-EU, Iran deal) and massive problems (water, demographics, Islamism and other extremisms). In a tour d'horizon, Daniel Pipes offers background to some of these developments, analyze their significance, and make predictions. In brief: the Islamist surge seems stronger than ever but shows major weaknesses, anarchy advances, Kurdistan emerges, Iran is in a pre-revolutionary state, Turkey goes rogue, Egypt teeters, America recedes, and Israel stands out ever-more as a "villa in the jungle."
Europe stands at an unprecedented crossroads: Will the continent retain its historic civilization or become predominantly Muslim? Will Europeans quietly accept Islamic law or resist this process? Daniel Pipes analyzes the main prospects and predict that within twenty years, Europeans will have fully woken up and the result will be ugly.
Israel is a success story with few parallels, turning a barren land into a military, scientific, and cultural powerhouse – which Daniel Pipes provides new, original information about. Yet its many achievements notwithstanding, the country lives under a unique barrage of threats. He reconciles and explains this paradox, ending with a policy recommendation for the U.S. government: let Israel defeat the Palestinians.
Nearly 30 years of failed "peace process" suggests the need for an entirely new paradigm to solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Daniel Pipes notes that through history, wars end when one side gives up its goals. This should be the U.S. approach to the Palestinians.
