On this edition of Parallax Views, we continue our coverage of the Gaza War and Israel/Palestine. Robert A. Pape, a Professor of Political at the University of Chicago specializing in international security studies (and author of such books as Cutting the Fuse: The Explosion of Global Suicide Terrorism and How to Stop It with James Feldman; Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism, Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War) joins the show to discuss his Foreign Affairs piece "Israel's Failed Bombing Campaign in Gaza: Collective Punishment Won't Defeat Hamas". We discuss why, based on Pape's research, the likely outcome of Israel's bombardment of Gaza, which has claimed thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians, will result in radicalizing more Palestinian/bolstering support for Hamas. We'll also discuss the problems with Israel's justification for the nature of it's bombing campaign (specifically its invocation of the Allied bombing of Dresden and Hamburg in WWII), the Israeli concept paper that argued for pushing Gazans into Egypt's Sinai, the bait-and-bleed strategy of terrorism (in which a violent non-state actor seeks to engender and extreme response from a state actor in order to bolster support for itself), the Abraham Accords, and much, much more.

In this talk, Robert Pape presents findings from the Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism demonstrating that, contrary to popular belief, religion alone motivates only a tiny minority of suicide attacks. Instead, the root cause is foreign military occupation, which triggers secular and religious people to carry out suicide attacks. From The World Beyond the Headlines series.

A talk by Robert Pape, Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. In their book "Cutting the Fuse", Robert A. Pape, James K. Feldman and the Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism examine every suicide terrorist attack worldwide from 1980 to 2009, nearly 2200 attacks in all. In this talk, Robert Pape presents their finding that contrary to popular and dangerously mistaken belief, religion alone motivates only a tiny minority of these attacks. Instead, the root cause is foreign military occupation, which triggers secular and religious people to carry out suicide attacks.

The horrific events of September 11, 2001, dramatically demonstrated the threat posed by suicide terrorism. With the precipitous rise of suicide attacks against democracies, particularly in the five years since 9/11, the time is right to reflect on the rationale and effectiveness of the tactic. Robert Pape, author of the seminal book Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism, will present the findings of his most recent research, "Suicide Terrorism and Democracy: What We've Learned Since 9/11." Pape's conclusions, that suicide terrorism continues to follow a strategic logic, and that suicide attackers are primarily motivated by resistance to occupation by a foreign power, suggest that important changes should be made in U.S. strategy in the War on Terrorism. Pape's talk will be followed by a panel discussion including some of America's leading experts on terrorism, counter terrorism, and U.S. foreign policy.
