SynopsisThe Case for Israel is an ardent defense of Israel's rights, supported by indisputable evidence. Presents a passionate look at what Israel's accusers and detractors are saying about this war-torn country. Dershowitz accuses those who attack Israel of international bigotry and backs up his argument with hard facts. Widely respected as a civil libertarian, legal educator, and defense attorney extraordinaire, Alan Dershowitz has also been a passionate though not uncritical supporter of Israel., "Overwhelming . . . a mustread 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 thirtytwo separate slurs, slanders, and misrepresentations that have been hurled at Israel in recent years, from "Jews have always rejected the twostate solution" and "Israel created the Arab refugee problem" to "universities should divest from Israel." Hardhitting, wellreasoned, 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, Dershowitz accuses those who attack Israel of international bigotry and backs up his argument with hard evidence.Written in Alan Dershowitz's characteristic hard-hitting style, The Case for Israel defends Israel and its basic right to exist, to protect its citizens from terrorism and to protect its borders from hostile enemies.
