Conspiracism, while not unique to the Middle East, is a salient feature of the political discourses of the region.

Conspiracy Theories in the United States and the Middle East is the first book to approach conspiracy theorizing from a decidedly comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Whereas previous studies have engaged with conspiracy theories within national frameworks only, this collection of essays draws attention to the fact that conspiracist visions are transnational narratives that travel between and connect different cultures. It focuses on the United States and the Middle East because these two regions of the world are entangled in manifold ways and conspiracy theories are currently extremely prominent in both. The contributors to the volume are scholars of Middle Eastern Studies, Anthropology, History, Political Science, Cultural Studies, and American Studies, who approach the subject from a variety of different theories and methodologies. However, all of them share the fundamental assumption that conspiracy theories must not be dismissed out of hand or ridiculed. Usually wrong and frequently dangerous, they are nevertheless articulations of and distorted responses to needs and anxieties that must be taken seriously. Focusing on individual case studies and displaying a high sensitivity for local conditions and the cultural environment, the essays offer a nuanced image of the workings of conspiracy theories in the United States and the Middle East.

This book is about the transformation of Europe into "Eurabia," a cultural and political appendage of the Arab/Muslim world. Eurabia is fundamentally anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-American, and antisemitic. The institution responsible for this transformation, and that continues to propagate its ideological message, is the Euro-Arab Dialogue, developed by European and Arab politicians and intellectuals over the past thirty years.--From publisher description.

"Barry Chamish is changing Israel's perspective as no other journalist in his field. His previous books: 'Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin', 'Traitors and Carpetbaggers in the Promised Land', and 'Israel Betrayed' have documented Israeli leadership controlled by dangerous, secretive European and American power brokers, using murder to push "peace" down an unwilling Israeli public's throat. His research has been accepted in Israel and worldwide. Chamish's Hebrew work has climbed to the top of the Israeli bestsellers lists, while his editions in English, Spanish, French, Russian, and German are impacting readers on 3 continents. In 'The Last Days of Israel', Chamish goes farther than ever before. He names names. He identifies Israel's hidden enemies and shows readers who really murdered Rabin. This book puts all of his previous research into highly focused perspective. When widely understood, this perspective has the potential of saving Israel. This book is a powerful tool for Israel's defense." -- from the cover
