Benny Morris, “Losing the Middle East” in the National Interest:
Prediction is always risky or plain silly, but my guess is that when the dust settles, which it will, in a month or two or three’s time, one will see that Western—and Israeli—interests in the Middle East will have been substantially undermined and anti-Western—and anti-Israeli—interests substantially bolstered.
This is but one example in Morris’s article but it sets the tone for what is to come. Here is an Israeli historian and avid Zionist, writing in a US publication, entitled, ironically, The National Interest, informing us that our interests and those of Israel’s are the same and therefore, since the outcome of the ongoing uprising throughout North Africa and the Middle East threatens Israel’s position we should not be welcoming it with open arms.
