Jihadism, Intelligence Failures, and Israeli Politics

This chapter delves into the complexities of comparing Hamas to ISIS and argues that jihadism is a more appropriate lens to view current events. It discusses the atmosphere of mourning and fury in Israel following an attack and explores the reasons behind the intelligence failures and delayed response. The chapter also highlights the culpability of the current Israeli government, specifically Benjamin Netanyahu, for the behavior of Jewish religious extremists and their claims on real estate.
