Mythologies without end: the US, Israel, and the Arab-Israeli conflict, 1917-2020

In: Oxford scholarship online

Abstract

In 'Mythologies Without End', Jerome Slater takes stock of the conflict over time and argues that US policies in the region are largely a product of mythologies that are often flatly wrong. Because of their widespread acceptance, there have been devastating consequences to the true interests of both countries. He argues that a critical examination and refutation of the many mythologies is a necessary first step toward solving the Arab-Israeli conflict.
