Samson Blinded by Obadiah Shoher offers Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East conflict. More than 170,000 people from 78 countries have read Samson Blinded on the Internet. The website claims that the book and corresponding blog were banned by Amazon and Google. The reason for it was so-called “radical views” of the author. Obadiah Shoher abandons moralizing either side of the Israeli-Muslim conflict. The author advocates political rationalism and deplores both Jewish and Muslim myths. The book maintains that morality is alien to politics and the West must use balance of power against the Islamist enemy.
Obadiah Shoher is a pen name of a veteran Israeli politician. He has dealt with anti-terrorism issues for the most of his career. More information is available on terrorismisrael.com where you can also download a copy of the book.
The book is viewed as radical but I personally disagree. The author is saying the truth and it’s unfortunate that the world is not yet ready to hear it.
