Blurb:
September 2011 may have been a tipping point in the decline of U.S. power and influence, with a possible global realignment to follow. America’s waning influence in military arenas, diplomatic forums, and economic spheres has already created power vacuums and adventurism. The stage may be set for even more dramatic upheavals, with Islamists in Turkey and the Arab Spring countries jostling with a declining Europe, an expansionist Iran, and a resurgent Russia and China.
Increasingly isolated and besieged, Israel must now create a place for itself in the new international order in the face of international hostility. September involved attacks on sovereign Israeli territory in Egypt, the reconvening of the anti-Semitic Durban 3 conference at the UN, the effective abrogation of Oslo by the Palestinians with their announcement they would go to the General Assembly rather than negotiate borders with Israel, and increasing terrorism. A new war in the coming months is not impossible.
New analysis and thinking, for a new world, is urgently needed. Join Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors for an expert panel on what diplomatic, military, and geostrategic threats Israel may face in the coming months, and how the Jewish State will likely have to adapt to survive them.
