The book reviewed here treats of the Israeli-Palestinian military problem as a particular case of the general question of democracies faced with the dilemmas of "counter-insurgency". Combining Raymond Aron's realistic approach and Michael Waizer's ethical approach, the author recommends a different military policy: one that is guided by "empathy", acknowledging the Palestinians' suffering and at least the partial validity of their demands, and by "schizophrenia", pursuing at once the eradication of armed groups and support for civilian populations. This appeal to reason based on "short-term history" (1980-2010) may well overlook the uniqueness of a conflict in which "current events hark back in time" and in which "long[er]-term history" (1920-2010) shows the primacy of "overarching narratives" whose acceptance is a prerequisite for the rational games they authorize. In this case, Zahal's strategic dilemma becomes the Israeli state's political dilemma: to avoid both "hostile empathy" and "defeatist sympathy". Adapted from the source document.

An article that is said to be based on avoiding an amalgam between Islam and terrorism, without however losing criticism.

Adversity is said to stimulate creativity and a lack of means, a maximum use of limited resources and improvisation (only 30 officers of police and intelligence services were involved). Moreover, privileged partnerships are used with befriended services, the fastest possible division of information, and an empathy based on knowing the "other" and its fundamental beliefs.
