Finally a book that really tells it like it is in the Middle East. Dr. Michael Rydelniks book will become the classic in the field. It combines biblical, historical, contemporary, and prophetic insights into the whole Middle East conflict. No easy task. But Michael has really pulled it off! And his writing is accurate and lively, a joy to read and learn. Get a bunch and pass them out to friend and foe alike!

To my wife, Eva,
my beloved, my friend, my partner,
and my co-laborer in life and ministry,
and who, like the Lord,
loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
(Psalm 87:2)
Scan the front page of todays newspaper or watch the evening news. Its nearly impossible to do so without coming across another story on the social, political, and spiritual unrest in the land of Israelhorrific stories of war, conflict, hatred, and devastation. We hear so much about the Middle East that we have a general idea of what is taking place. But we dont have enough solid facts to make sense of the whole situation.
My friend and colleague Michael Rydelnik looks beyond the headlines to take us through a biblically accurate analysis of this violent struggle for power over Gods Holy Land. Michael has spent years studying the situation and evaluating the facts, and he presents a clear, compelling explanation of the Arab-Israeli conflict. He guides readers through a history of the Jewish people and, along the way, presents the underlying causes of conflict in what seems to be a never-ending struggle.
The current conflict certainly has taken its toll on the Promised Land. Homes, familieseven faithall seem to be casualties of this struggle for control. The promise of Peace on Earth appears to be little more than a mirage. But there is hopeand it is found in Gods Word. Michael offers solid reasons to believe peace for the Holy Land is not out of reach.
Want to make sense of the jagged puzzle pieces that are the current Middle East crisis? If so, grab a cup of coffee, find a comfortable chair, and then let Michael guide you through the maze that is the current Arab-Israeli crisis.

The book writing process has taught me the truth of Edward Abbeys words, In order to write a book, it is necessary to sit down (or stand up) and write. Therein lies the difficulty. Therefore, I want to thank the following for their help in getting me to the place of sitting down to write: the administration and faculty of the Moody Bible Institute, which granted me a sabbatical, giving me the time to write; Greg Thornton, executive editor of Moody Publishers, who has always been encouraging, patient, and supportive in this project; James Vincent, general editor at Moody Publishers, whose skill and wisdom are evident throughout, and without whose prodding the book would have been finished at a much later date; and my students at the Moody Bible Institute, whose questions and ideas constantly teach me.
I am also grateful to patient friends who began to wonder, Whatever became of Michael? while they waited for me to complete this book.
Finally, a big thanks to my wife, Eva, who was more committed to my completing the book than I was and who also checked every endnote; and to my two sons: Zack, whose confidence in me is always an inspiration, even while he lives away at college; and Seth, whose cheerful optimism and sacrificial attitude about both computer time and Dad time made this book a reality.
| Occupied Territories | Refers to land taken from Jordan (the West Bank) and Egypt (Gaza) by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War. Palestinians contend this is their territory in its entirety, while Israel maintains that these areas were never internationally recognized as belonging to Jordan or Egypt so they are disputed territories. |
| Settlements/Settlers | Refers to Israeli communities in the disputed territories developed after 1967 in areas where Jewish communities were evacuated in the 1948 Israeli War of Independence. Palestinians contend that these consist of illegal land acquisitions and population transfer, while Israelis argue that they are legal because the land is disputed and no Israeli has ever been forced to live in these areas. |
| Right of Return | Israelis contend that every Jewish person has a right to return to their ancient homeland, Israel, and therefore have passed the law of return. Palestinians believe that the Arab refugees who left Israel during the War of Independence have a right to return to their previous homes. |
| The Green Line | The line that was the border between Israel and Jordan between 1949 and 1967. Since 1967, it has been considered the boundary between Israel proper and the disputed West Bank territories. |
| Resolution 242 | United Nations Security Council resolution passed after the 1967 Six Day War that calls for withdrawal from territories as part of a negotiated peace treaty with new secure and recognized boundaries. Palestinians contend that it requires the return of all the territories taken in the war, while Israel contends that it calls for adjustments to previous boundaries. |
| Terrorism | Violence against civilians intended to intimidate or coerce them and/or to influence the policy of a government. Palestinians have used various forms of terrorism in an effort to obtain further Israeli concessions. Palestinians claim this is only violent resistance. |
| Militants/Militancy | Terms that describe Islamic terrorists and terrorist acts. News media frequently use these amoral characterizations in an attempt to avoid judgment of motives. |
| Security Fence/Separation Wall | The barrier that Israel built in the West Bank, along the Green Line. Israel maintains that this is an antiterrorist fence, designed to restrict infiltration of terrorists from Palestinian areas. Palestinians contend that this is a land grab intended to establish a new border without negotiations. |
| Anti-Semitism | A nineteenth-century term coined to describe hatred of the Jewish people and does not apply to racism against any other people group, even those speaking Semitic languages. |
| Two-State Solution | The plan to solve the conflict by creating two separate states, one for Israel and one for the Palestinians. |
| Phased Strategy | Policy of the Palestine Liberation Organization, adopted in 1974, calling for the destruction of Israel through a graduated or phased strategy. Obtaining a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza is viewed merely as a step toward the ultimate goal of a Palestinian state encompassing both Palestinian areas and Israel. |
| The Road Map | The peace plan proposed by the Quartet (United States, Russia, the European Union, and the United Nations) after the 2003 U.S. Iraq War, embracing a two-state solution through performance-based phases. |
