From Professor Ely Karmon: Threats posed to Israel by the Arab Spring

Dear friends and colleagues,

The comparison he makes with the Dutch Republic of the 17th century is an outstanding historical analysis.

I agree with many of Spengler's evaluations, some of which were mentioned in my Jerusalem Post article "A devil’s advocate view of ‘new’ Mideast", at

Ely Karmon
