Rabbi Klein’s Fall Book Review Sunday, November 23 @ 9:15 a.m. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East by Martin Sieff
Why most of what you think you know about the Middle East is wrong The Middle East: a region that’s almost never off the front pages, yet one most Americans know little about. The mainstream media and Ivy League academics only make matters worse by casting everything in the usual politically correct mold: Arab terrorists are just desperate freedom fighters, and the region’s one free democracy--Israel--is the oppressor, not least because of its alliance with America. And if Islamic extremism is a problem, the establishment tells us, it’s only because it’s rooted in that source of all evils: religion. A different strain of political correctness has seeped into some minds on the right--most notably the Bush administration, which, so ready to buy into the egalitarian myths we are all taught, believed that Western-style democracy could flourish anywhere. Now, in The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to the Middle East, veteran Middle East correspondent Martin Sieff puts the lie to all these myths and clichés, giving you everything you need to know about the region to understand its past, its present, and its possible future. A continental Breakfast will be served. If you wish to purchase a copy of the book, :please contact Rabbi Klein. Cost is $18. This event is sponsored by the Temple Emanu-El Library Advisory Committee.
