An urgent call for Israel to change direction, from an unexpected source: the highly decorated former director of the internal security service, Shin Bet. In this deeply personal journey of discovery, Ami Ayalon seeks input and perspectives from Palestinians and Israelis whose experiences differ from his own. Raised a committed Zionist, as head of the Shin Bet security agency he nevertheless gained empathy for ''the enemy'' and learned that when Israel carries out anti-terrorist operations in a political context of hopelessness, the Palestinian public will support violence, because they have nothing to lose. Researching and writing Friendly Fire, he came to understand that his patriotic life had blinded him to the self-defeating nature of policies that have undermined Israel''s civil society while heaping humiliation upon its Palestinian neighbours. ''If Israel becomes an Orwellian dystopia,'' Ayalon writes, ''it won''t be thanks to a handful of theologians dragging us into the dark past. The secular majority

Descriere

An urgent call for Israel to change direction, from an unexpected source: the highly decorated former director of the internal security service, Shin Bet. In this deeply personal journey of discovery, Ami Ayalon seeks input and perspectives from Palestinians and Israelis whose experiences differ from his own. Raised a committed Zionist, as head of the Shin Bet security agency he nevertheless gained empathy for 'the enemy' and learned that when Israel carries out anti-terrorist operations in a political context of hopelessness, the Palestinian public will support violence, because they have nothing to lose. Researching and writing Friendly Fire, he came to understand that his patriotic life had blinded him to the self-defeating nature of policies that have undermined Israel's civil society while heaping humiliation upon its Palestinian neighbours. 'If Israel becomes an Orwellian dystopia,' Ayalon writes, 'it won't be thanks to a handful of theologians dragging us into the dark past. The secular majority will lead us there motivated by fear and propelled by silence.' Ayalon is a realist, not an idealist, and readers across the political spectrum will regard as radical his conclusions about what Israel must do to achieve relative peace and security.
