Israel’s Evolving Struggle for Survival: Old and New Threats

Since 1948, Israel’s survival has been continuously threatened. The military threat is always the most fundamental and immediate: Israel survives and her Jewish population avoids massacre and expulsion only because her borders, air space, and sea links are militarily defended. We also evaluate four other types of potentially existential threats — economic, demographic, diplomatic, and ideological. We then discuss how supporters of Israel can help in the fight against the combined diplomatic and ideological threats.
