The end of (military) history

By Andrew J Bacevich

Asia Times

Among nations classified as liberal democracies, only two resisted this trend. One was the United States, the sole major belligerent to emerge from World War II stronger, richer, and more confident. The second was Israel, created as a direct consequence of the horrors unleashed by that cataclysm. By the 1950s, both countries subscribed to this common conviction: national security (and, arguably, national survival) demanded unambiguous military superiority. In the lexicon of American and Israeli politics, "peace" was a codeword. The essential prerequisite for peace was for any and all adversaries, real or potential, to accept a condition of permanent inferiority. In this regard, the two nations - not yet intimate allies - stood apart from the rest of the Western world.

I don't know how accurate the JIDF site is but I came across THIS -

Article below and some additional research I did with links.... Please research this.

Is this book already known by Mort Klein etc.. who I saw quoted as stating there are conflicting population studies on Palstine...
What was the book author's angle if he had one?
Wiki implies he tried to write an unbiased book on islam and that he spoke multiple languages including Hebrew and Arabic as well as European many European languages.

A resident of Caesarea who is a lover of antiquarian books and Judaica found in Budapest an old book, in Latin, which had been written by a Christian named Reland, chronicling his trip in the land of Israel in 1695/6.

The book was written in Latin. In the year 1695, Reland was sent on a tour of the land of Israel or, as it was then called, "Palestine."
