Democratic Universality and Its Adversaries

August 1, 2005 | Joel Fishman
Judaism and Christianity emphasize man's freedom to act morally.

At the same time, the paramount interest of Hamas and Islamic Jihad is to reorganize and rebuild their capabilities after they were severely degraded by the Israel Defense Forces.
