Shahak warns us (page 84):
Since 1967, as Israel becomes more and more ‘Jewish', so its policies are influenced more by Jewish ideological considerations than by those of a coldly conceived imperial interest. This ideological influence is not usually perceived by foreign experts, who tend to ignore or downplay the influence of the Jewish religion on Israeli policies. This explains why many of their predictions are incorrect.
In fact, more Israeli government crises are caused by religious reasons, often trivial, than by any other cause.
He wrote this book thirty years ago and mentioned how the Israeli populace obsessed over things we could not imagine, and paid little or no attention to the things we do. Petty symbols of pro-Jewish discrimination and absolutism have always been more important than any international relations. They take themselves way too seriously.
And this fanaticism is only worse outside of Israel. Shahak cites Canadian Jews as the most fanatical supporters of Israel, followed closely by Jews in the US. The most activist leftist Jews in the West seem to almost unanimously fall in line regarding support for Israel. There are very few dissenters among Diaspora Jews.
It seems almost schizophrenic how they'll march and risk facing violence for the likes of Martin Luther King while denying any minority rights for anyone in Israel. But no, it's because America is mostly Gentiles. They want equal rights here because no Jews would suffer. Instead, such advocacy becomes a propaganda weapon to protect Jewish lives elsewhere. Also, totalitarians run the same path. Stalin had no problem sharply criticizing American racial prejudice, as long as it didn't interfere with his control at home. Totalitarians are always hypocritical about human rights, and Jews are no exception.
Shahak notes that for the forty years leading up to the publication of his book (i.e., since about 1950), the number of Gentiles killed by Jews outnumbered Jews that Gentiles had killed.
That's where the book ends.
