A Jewish man wrote a book urging a plan to democratize Arab countries. What was his name & the title?

Question

The Israeli plan to democratize Arab countries was adopted by President Bush and other Christians to protect Israel because they believe the second coming of Christ will happen only if the Jews are in Israel. Are we in Iraq for religious reasons?

Answer 1

The plan is to balkanize the ME and was published under the name Oded Yinon. This became the basis for "A Clean Break:
A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" 1996 policy paper for Likud candidate Benjamin Netanyahu authored by a group of American neoconservative supporters of Israel's Likud party, including Richard Perle and Douglas Feith, among others.

On a theological point, there is no sound basis for Christian support for Zionism. Those who believe there is are zionist dupes.

Answer 2

You have it backwards.

Natan Sharansky co-wrote a book called "The Case for Democracy" in which one of his central themes was that peace can only be achieved between democracies and that the fundamental reason why there was not peace between Israel and many of its neighbors was due to this problem.

As is the case, since such ideas are favoured by the Bush Administration, the book found its way to Bush personally who read it and invited Sharansky to the White House. But the book in itself had no influence on actual foreign policy.

However, it was written in 2004, one year after the start of the Iraq war. Also, Sharansky is nominally religious and there is not a shred of religious content in his book, which is political.
