Summary
Annotation Sharkansky (political science, Hebrew U. of Jerusalem) identifies and examines those parallels between ancient and modern Israel that help to clarify the modern conflicts, discussing such contemporary issues as the Arab uprising and the Israeli government's ambivalence in dealing with it; the government's inability to come to a permanent solution concerning the territories occupied in 1967; and the lack of a clear-cut consensus in the 1988 elections.
