Suicidal Democracy: Israels Future in the Arab Environment spells out the perils inherent in the practice of democracy at any price, even when it takes precedence over national identity, and disregards national security and national existence just in order to preserve the ideal of democracy. For one, the values of existence and survival are considered by author Raphael Israeli as overwhelming, while the character of a regime is only auxiliary to ascertain a better existence. Therefore, to choose any kind of government, one first must guarantee ones survivability. This volume examines the way Israel has been disregarding these basic life requirements in its frenzied drive to be and to appear as a supreme practitioner of democracy, both towards its large Arab population and in its relations with the Arab world, while the latter have been abusing democracy and liberal policies to bring Israel to its demise.
