“That Netanyahu himself has worried for a decade that Israel may not survive to reach its 100th birthday lends more credence to this fear that Israel is accelerating its own demise.” Jospeh Massad does not provide an overview of such a possible 'demise' . What does it mean? The Israeli state might collapse because of a civil war? Does this death or end mean Israel as a country and people would cease to exist? The French defeat in Algeria meant that the colonialists went back to France. Where would the 9.5 million Israelis go? Would the US and Israel's allies allow such a 'demise'? It is strange that such a far-fetching statement is made by Massad.
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
