The Case for Israel

Current Affairs"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 PostIn 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 ReviewALAN DERSHOWITZ, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, is one of the country's foremost appellate lawyers and a distinguished defender of individual liberties. He appears frequently on television and has contributed articles to the New York Times and other newspapers and magazines.
