In 2014 the jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) were consolidating their control over a vast area of the Middle East. They singled out the Yazidis, adherents of an ancient monotheistic religion, for annihilation. Unlike Christians or Jews, who were seen as "people of the book," Yazidis were classified as pagans and therefore subject to extermination. The men were to be executed and the women and children enslaved. In August ISIS fighters attacked Sinjar, an Iraqi city inhabited mostly by Yazidis.

In 1948, seven hundred thousand Palestinians were forced out of their homes by the first Arab-Israeli War. More than seventy years later, most of their houses are long gone, but millions of their descendants are still registered as refugees, with many living in refugee camps. This group—unlike countless others that were displaced in the aftermath of World War II and other conflicts—has remained unsettled, demanding to settle in the state of Israel. Their belief in a "right of return" is one of the largest obstacles to successful diplomacy and lasting peace in the region.

The ministry's checkered record of effective intelligence operations includes a history of assassinations and human rights abuses.

Tra israeliani e palestinesi chi ha torto e chi ha ragione? Chi sono i "buoni" e chi i "cattivi"? Gli israeliani, che "da vittime si sono trasformati in carnefici"? O i palestinesi, che "non vogliono altro che distruggere Israele"? E quando comincia il conflitto? A fine Ottocento, con la nascita del sionismo, negli anni Venti del Novecento o nel 1948, quando Israele viene attaccato dai paesi arabi "con l’obiettivo di annientarlo", o quando si verifica la "pulizia etnica dei palestinesi"? E perché la pace non è mai stata raggiunta?

This is a colorful history that brings the great battles of the age to life and clearly shows how the western struggle against the Ottomans constituted the first truly world war.

In doing so, he offers us a new, brilliantly rich lens with which to understand the ancient world.

אם ירושלים נחשבת למקום השלישי בקדושתו לאסלאם, איך קרה שב-1229 שליט מוסלמי וויתר עליה לטובת מלך צלבני? מה הקשר בין הצהרת בלפור ובוטניקאי אנגלי חצוף שגנב בברזיל זרעים של עץ גומי? מה גרם לתקשורת להכתיר את סידני כהן, החייט היהודי מלונדון, כ"מלך למפדוזה"? מדוע גרם מסמך רשמי ששוגר למלכה ויקטוריה למלחמה בין האימפריה הבריטית ואתיופיה ומה בדיוק עשו שם האדונים שטרן ורוזנטאל? מטוסים גרמנים הפציצו כפר ערבי כדי להגן על החלוצים במרחביה – היה או לא היה?

אמר שיחכה בתשע מתחת לעץ החרוב. אולי טעיתי בשעה. אולי טעיתי בחרוב. בהוראות שקיבלתי בטלפון נאמר שביער יש דרך אל הכפר. וכבר כמעט שעה אני סובב ותועה כאן, ואי-שם בלב היער יש כפר שאיננו, ובכפר אנשים שאני הולך לבקרם משום שהם אינם. ואל הכפר הנעלם מוליכות דרכים הרבה, והפז'ו שלי, שכבר איננו עול-דרכים, מיטלטל ונזרק מבור למהמורה, מכף לקלע...

At the heart of the Middle East, with its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern resonances, we need to revisit its origins—which go back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632; the accidental coup that set aside the claims of his son Ali; and the slaughter of Ali's own son Husayn at Karbala. These events, known to every Muslim, have created a slender fault line in the Middle East.

Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

He introduces the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious disputes, and turning points of world history, imparting not only what happened but how it is understood from the Muslim perspective.
