Commenting on an ancient and persistent pattern seen in the politics of Iron Age Palestine, Andrew J. Hurley writes in his 1991 “Israel and the New World Order” –

“The Likud government, by its blind and ruthless policies, is leading Israel down a suicidal path, which will inevitably end in the kind of disaster which has so frequently and tragically befallen the Jewish people under other irresponsible, unwise, and unworthy leaders in the course of its turbulent history. The leaders of the Likud would do well to heed the admonition of Santayana, so often quoted, that “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”(1) The Likudnik path of Israeli domestic and foreign policy Hurley refers to, closely resembling that now being followed by the U.S. itself, under marked Israeli influence, was once described by the distinguished historian Barbara Tuchman as a “pursuit of policy contrary to self-interest.”(2) In the following history, we will see this again and again, once more proving Santayana’s dictum correct.
