Fire in the Holy Land – Conflict, Ideology, and the Failure of Moral Simplification

This topic discusses Fire in the Holy Land, a political analysis of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and its wider regional and global implications.

The book examines how a territorial and ideological conflict is increasingly reduced to moral binaries in Western discourse, while its historical depth, religious dimensions, power structures, and strategic realities are ignored or distorted.

Rather than advocating for a political camp, the analysis focuses on:

the role of ideology, religion, and identity

asymmetric narratives in media and academia

the export of the conflict into Western societies

the consequences of moral absolutism replacing strategic thinking

Key questions include:

Why does this conflict resist simple moral framing?

How do external actors reshape the conflict through projection?

What happens when complexity is treated as heresy?

The discussion is intended to be analytical, historically grounded, and civil.
Disagreement is welcome; slogans are not.
