As head of the Shin Bet security agency, he gained empathy for "the enemy" and learned that when Israel carries out anti-terrorist operations in a political context of hopelessness, the Palestinian public will support violence, because they have nothing to lose. Researching and writing Friendly Fire, he came to understand that his patriotic life had blinded him to the self-defeating nature of policies that have undermined Israel's civil society while heaping humiliation upon its Palestinian neighbors. "If Israel becomes an Orwellian dystopia," Ayalon writes, "it won't be thanks to a handful of theologians dragging us into the dark past. The secular majority will lead us there motivated by fear and propelled by silence." Ayalon is a realist, not an idealist, and many who consider themselves Zionists will regard as radical his conclusions about what Israel must do to achieve relative peace and security and to sustain itself as a Jewish homeland and a liberal democracy.14919160aAyalon, Ami, d1945- 0aArab-Israeli conflict. 4aConflicto árabe-israelí91538 0aIsraelxPolitics and government. 4aIsrael 93045xPolítica y gobierno 4aIsrael xHistoria 9157331 aDavid, Anthony, d1962- 9191621 aRoss, Dennis B., d1948-eprologuista95436  a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  00102lcc40708RRaBJBbBJBcRRd2021-11-18l0o416 DS 119.76 A973f 2020p00000150189r2021-11-18 00:00:00t1w2021-11-18yBK
