Publisher's summary

Widely respected as a civil libertarian, legal educator, and defense attorney extraordinaire, Alan M. Dershowitz has also been a passionate though not uncritical supporter of Israel. In this audiobook, he presents an ardent defense of Israel's rights, supported by indisputable evidence. Dershowitz takes a close look at what Israel's accusers and detractors are saying about this war-torn country. He accuses those who attack Israel of international bigotry and backs up his argument with hard facts.

How little things have changed

Some of the history he'd details of which I was unaware. Providing the critiques of Israel at the beginning of each chapter was helpful in understanding conflicts and alternative opinions.

Very insightful-holds true today.

Dershowitz does a great job enumerating the arguments for and against Israel, and by extension, the Jews. It’s uncanny how it describes the situation to that continues to this day.

Enjoyed every second of it.

Now it all makes sense, and I’m going to listen to it all over again, to take it deep into my head

Worthwhile read; formatted as an argument rather than a history

I had hoped more facts and figures would be included, but it is in the format of a persuasive argument rather than a historical account. Still an informative and worthwhile book.
The narrator is good and easy to understand. However, it would have been better if the quoted segments (in which the author is quoting an argument made by a particular person) had been distinguished more clearly.

Factual and very objective

Besides being very well written and always kept me engaged, it is wonderful overview and history of the essential Israel Arab/Muslim dilemma. It's still relevant in 2024.

Very good and important book

However the authors premise doesn't support his conclusion. If the facts presented are true, then there will never be a 2 state solution. Don't get me wrong, It's a great idea, but the PLO doesn't even want the Palestinian "refugees" as its citizens in an independent state. That should tell you everything you need to know about having a "partner for peace".

Brilliant and succinct

The case for Israel with clear evidence, and nuance. Perhaps the most brilliant response to revisionists vitriolic attack on the Jewish state.
