HOW ISRAEL’S ENEMIES THREATEN THE ENTIRE WORLD: Understanding the Global Alliance of Islamic Extremism and the Radical Left

Israel faces two main enemies: Islamic extremists among the Palestinians, in the broader Middle East, and throughout much of the world; and the radical left, to some extent among the Palestinians and in the broader Middle East, but especially throughout the rest of the world. Both Islamist extremists and radical leftists seek to use dictatorial state power to impose rigid, intolerant, and collectivist ways of life within territory they control, while using a combination of violent and peaceful methods to expand their control over the rest of the world. Both Islamic extremists and radical leftists are global threats, seeking to victimize most other states and peoples in the same way as they target Israel and Jews. All victims and enemies of the Islamic extremist-radical left alliance must recognize the common threat and create the broadest possible united front against it.
