It explores the Arab-Israeli conflict through the lens of Shi’a intellectuals and scholars from South Lebanon, and chronologically reflects on trending perceptions of Palestine, the Zionist movement, and the Jewish community in Lebanon.\u003cbr\u003eThe monograph illustrates how Zionism and the establishment of Israel played a decisive role in the intellectual revival of early Muslim perceptions of Jews. It demonstrates how political conflicts after 1948 have impacted the work of scholars such as Musa as-Sadr and Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, and have triggered the formation of social and Islamist movements. It also shows how Hezbollah’s leaders have used religious sources and Western anti-Jewish narratives to construct a deep-rooted ideology to support their struggle for South Lebanon and Palestine. The combination of social needs, religious beliefs and political interests forms the core of the analysis. This text appeals to students and researchers working within the convergence of politics and Middle Eastern religions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\tvAcknowledgements\tviiAbout this Book\tviiiAbout the Author\txiiiNotes on Transliteration\txivList of figures\txvChapter 1: Introduction: The Shi‘a and the Power of Ideology\t11.1.\tOrigins: Traditional Shi‘i Narratives of Jews\t51.2.\tBetween the Frontlines: The Lebanese Shi‘a and Their Search for Identity\t111.3.\tAncient Tales and Modern Challenges: Islamist Narratives about Jews and Zionism\t141.4.\tAbout this Book\t19References\t21Chapter 2.
