Understanding the Arab-Israeli Conflict: What the Headlines Haven't Told You, Paperback

Michael Rydelnik, professor of Jewish studies at Moody Bible Institute, goes beyond the media images for an in depth, biblically grounded look at the "crisis that never ends"--the conflict between the Israelis and the Arabs. Dr. Rydelnik explores such questions as:

• Will the violence ever stop?
• Who really has a right to the land?
• How did it all start...and where will it all end?

This revised and updated edition includes a new chapter that looks at the events that brought the end to the Terror War in 2004, discusses the change of leadership in the Israeli government, and examines the conflict within the Palestinian government following the surprise election victory of the terrorist grou Hamas.
