Summary: Even less confusion
Comment: It's true that Benzion Netanyahu is not the former Israeli PM; the former Israeli PM, however, is his son. Notice the poignant dedication to his other son, Jonathan, who was one of the Israeli commandos on the Entebbe raid.
Rating: 5
Summary: To avoid confusion...
Comment: This book is written by Benzion Netanyahu, the Cornell professor and not the former Israel PM... it's a good read either way though.

Summary: Origins of the Inquisition et al. by PM Benjamin Netanyahu
Comment: This is an excellent work from beginning to end. It outlines in
detail, a history of anti-semitism dating back to Egypt in the
BC era. The focus of the work is on the brutal anti-semitism
of the Inquisition in Spain. The main argument seems to place
the process of anti-semitism within a racial context rather than
a religious one. This context may have served as a basis for
a continued persecution of Jews up through the 20th century.
There is a brilliant work which deals with the protection of
the Jewish community against harm. It is "The Keeper of the Gate"
published by the Jerusalem Publishing Company/House. The
"Keeper of the Gate" teaches how Jews protected neighborhoods
from harassing raids by marauders during the Middle Ages.
In fact, Benjamin, Daniel and Joseph have been the historical
gatekeepers of the Jewish community. PM Netanyahu's work
provides a thorough delineation of the foundations of hatred
against Jews. In so doing,the author has provided a wealth of
information to reshape hostile attitudes . This process of
re-shaping attitudes must happen by dealing forthrightly
with racial prejudice in the Constitutional apparati of Arab
states. That is, Arab states must ban racial discrimination
in their individual constitutions and constitutional processes.
Right now, Iraq seems to be the best place to begin this work.
The new Iraqi Constitution should be formulated to ban racial
prejudice in every form and societal context as a condition
precedent to forgiving reconstruction loans and loan guarantees.
I wish there was time to write a separate book on this topic.
For now, I plan to re-read this work in even greater depth
when the time affords. The author has gained a wealth of
knowledge as a diplomat, Prime Minister and scholar at MIT.
As such, he must be considered a top world scholar of our time.
