"Politically, the growing threat of Islamism draws many of Asian countries towards a country that is in the forefront of fighting this threat."

In intelligence matters, Israeli "Mossad, with its strong human intelligence capabilities, is attractive for helping these countries overcome foreign threats."

Adelman and Romirowsky sound like labouring to produce an academic commercial to "sell" Israel to Asia.

Ironically both of them had nothing to say about Israel being promoted mainly by its US strategic sponsor as "the only democracy in the Middle East."

Historically Israel was not born after a struggle with the colonial power of Great Britain but was imposed by this colonial power by force on the region and born after military ongoing ethnic cleansing of the native Arab Palestinians of the land.

Militarily, the anti-missile Iron Dome technology has not proved a success in three Israeli wars on Gaza Strip and Lebanon since 2006.

Politically, the Israeli logistical support of the most extreme among the Islamist insurgents who are fighting against the government of Syria doesn't vindicate that Israel is "in the forefront of fighting" their threat.
