This book: "Fighting Terrorism" by Benjamin Netanyahu, the past and future Prime Minister of Israel is pure propaganda. The central purpose of the book is to convince us that Israel's enemies are our enemies. In truth Zionism contemplated war in the Middle East in the 19th century. Now, the Zionists have their long planned war. The US (out of ignorance, and guilt over the holocaust) has supplied the Zionists with weapons and accordingly was attacked on 9/11 in retaliation. That led directly to the current bizarre war in Iraq which Netanyahu desperately loves because now the U.S. is not only supplying weapons to the Zionists but is also directly fighting their Muslim enemies too.
America's abject blindness to this elementary history is so profound that Netanyahu knowingly spent less than a page trying to explain that terrorism is not connected to Zionism at all. Instead Netanyahu would have us believe that the entire Muslim world and much of the rest of the world would still hate us just as much had we not supported Zionism, and attacked Iraq. It is just too self serving and deadly to justify a response.
Yes, we all fear terrorism and are therefore subject to exploitation about it. But in truth terrorism is merely a poor mans way of waging war. Does anyone think Arabs and the rest of the world are not afraid of the way rich people wage war? Japan surrendered as nuclear Bombs terrorized them. The Chinese referred to American citizens as B-52s as they lived in terror believing that one day American B-52s would shake the earth beneath their cities with fire bombs. Indeed the whole world lived under a "balance of terror" as the USSR and the U.S. raced to build more and more nuclear weapons, but no one called what were essentially wars of ideology, wars on terror. Netanyahu prefers a war on terror precisely because it distracts from ideology; in this case Zionism, which holds that it is somehow ok to steal land from the Arabs. Americans submit to this trick in part out of abject ignorance and in part out of our endless sympathy for the Jews stemming from the holocaust. Netanyahu wants to destroy terrorism so Zionism can prevail. His objective and the world's objective should be, firstly, to force Israel to live within internationally established and recognized boundaries. Secondly, the objective should be to force the UN to defend those international boundaries until the Arabs give up their dream of pushing Israel into the sea.
