It centers on a previously unheard oral history of the Middle Eastern conflict from the viewpoint of the Jewish victims and their families.\u003cbr\u003eTen years ago, Palestinian terrorist groups launched their Second Intifada, resulting in an Israeli \"Ground Zero\" with 1,500 civilian victims. Israel is a tiny country, and this number would be proportionally equivalent to about 54,000 terror victims in the United States. The hundreds of attacks in Israel, day after day, amount to a sort of \"new Shoah,\" as Roger Scruton explains in his foreword. Giulio Meotti spoke to many of the Israeli families that have been destroyed by terror attacks on all the ordinary places of everyday life: on buses, kibbutzim, religious places, cafés and restaurants. Many of the survivors told their heartbreaking stories of loss for the first time. In these human fragments lie the raison d'être for the State of Israel, the first country in the world to experience suicide bombings on a massive scale, the fruit of jihadi nihilism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"At the heart of the Jewish tradition is a metaphysics of radical hope: The world is a good place, and by our efforts we can make it better.
