Peloni: Dr. Kedar walks through several key points:
- The roots of the conflict predate both 1967 and 1948, and represent deeper historical and ideological struggles.
- Israel is perceived as illegitimate by its adversaries not because of its borders or occupation, but due to a fundamental rejection of Jewish sovereignty of any form.
- Jihad is framed not only as armed struggle but as a comprehensive, long-term campaign extending into media, economics, academia, and demographic strategies.
- In this worldview, civilian casualties and material destruction do not serve as deterrents but are often anticipated and targeted against Western sensitivities.
- Israel is seen not as the ultimate objective, but as the front line in a much broader ideological confrontation.
He also delves into explaining why the West consistently misunderstands the conflict—imposing its own assumptions about diplomacy, compromise, and statehood onto an ideology that operates under fundamentally different principles and if Israel falters, the repercussions will extend far beyond the Middle East.
