No, I haven't read that book, but will look for it. I think it such a human tragedy when so many are indoctrinated into a philosophy of hate and extreme dogmatism.

Have you read Victory For Us Is To See You Suffer by Philip C. Winslow?

I posted about it four years ago on my blog. Here is one bit that your post (second to last paragraph) reminded me of. Maybe this is why some Arabs were reported to have rejoiced when the Twin Towers were hit.

Another interesting story is told by Ami Ayalon, a former head of Shin Bet and a retired career naval officer. He is now a peace campaigner and member of the Knesset for the Labor Party.

I had a very interesting meeting in London . .. during the intifada. A Palestinian friend approached me [and said], "Ami, we won. We Palestinians won." ... I asked him, "Are you crazy? What do you mean 'We won'? You are losing so many people ... and we are losing so many people. What is the whole essence of victory?" He said, "Ami, you don't understand us. Victory for us is to see you suffer. This is all we want. Finally, after so many years, we are not the only ones who suffer in the Middle East. (pg. 193)
