Defending Israel's conduct in its dealings with its Middle East
neighbours has, in recent years, become harder and harder to do. So
it is a thankless task that Dershowitz, a law professor, has given
himself. Predictably, Dershowitz adopts a lawyer's 'accusation' and
'proof' approach to discredit every single accusation that has ever
been levelled at the Jewish state. Sometimes this works, at other
times, such as when he examines the rules of engagement of the
Israeli army his evidence for the defence is, pointedly, over
twenty years old. This book is not the eye-opener it claims to be
on the cover, it is however an impassioned plea for Israel and, as
such, adds a little more balance to what can often become a very
one-sided debate with Israeli conduct condemned before being given
the chance to be judged fairly. (Kirkus UK)
"Overwhelming . . . a must-read for American Jews, particularly
those on college campuses who have no inkling of how to counter the
massive verbal assault on Israel. . . . A profound contribution to
a country now in dire straits."
-Jerusalem Post
In this impassioned book, Harvard Law School professor Alan
Dershowitz responds to Israel's vociferous opponents-and explains
why Israel, while not perfect, is a country that has earned the
right to exist and defend itself. Drawing on scrupulous research
and his peerless skills as an advocate, Dershowitz conclusively
refutes thirty-two separate slurs, slanders, and misrepresentations
that have been hurled at Israel in recent years, from "Jews have
always rejected the two-state solution" and "Israel created the
Arab refugee problem" to "universities should divest from Israel."
Hard-hitting, well-reasoned, and provocative, The Case for Israel
is essential reading if you're concerned about the ongoing conflict
in the Middle East.
"A lively, hotly argued broadside against Israel's increasingly
venomous critics."
-Washington Post Book World
"Passionately argued . . . revealing and persuasive."
-The Times (London)
"Dershowitz . . . knows how to construct an argument. . . .
Especially effective at pointing to the hypocrisy of many of
Israel's critics."
-New York Times Book Review
