Summary: Not so Informative
Comment: This Book features far too many writers who only pretend to care about the future of the human beings who populate the land of Israel. The great majority of writings are overly sympathetic to those who actively support terrorism. Furthremore these 'educated' people choose to ignore and often also fabricate historical information in order to paint the Israelis as barbaric and blood thirsty Arab haters.
Where are the liberal and left wing voices that truly care about human life and who treasure facts over fiction, peace over war?
The fact of the matter is that while there is dissent in the Jewish opinion over Israel most Jews who think logically and without the need for appeasing the supposedly enlightened Anglo world stand with Israel.
What this and other works fail to realize is that the Israelis and Jews are simply imperfect just as are all of humanity. But even in this imperfection they have consistently tried to do their best. Had a people created themselves in the late 60s and demanded the destruction of an entire nation in any other part of the world they would have been exterminated without remorse. Only Israel has tried over and over to put forth treaties, agreements and concessions all the while children are being blown up on the way home from school.
I'm a liberal and this book is definately not liberal. Being a liberal means loving life and being logical and informed on the issues. This book is just the opposite, it encourages hate and blood lust.
Don't waste your money... spend it on something useful like a pair of socks or a cup of coffee.

Summary: The Truth is louder when it's from Jews themselves
Comment: As sad as it is to say, the truth about the situation in Palestine and the origination of the State of Israel is dark, melicious, and disheartening. It is, however, encouraging to see a group of Jewish intellectuals willing to stand up and face the establishment and speak the truth. Coming from American Jewish mouths, these truths will be quite hard to invalidate or to accuse of being anti-Semitic, the favorite claim of pro-Israeli critics. Of course, I am sure these people will be called "self-hating Jews" or some garbage along those lines because when Zionists run out of accusations, they always turn to "self-hatred," as if it were a real emotion.
There will be reviewers who will give this book a low evaluation and use childish remarks to try and delegitimize its authors and editors; ignore these people. This book is a fundamental collection of works that should be ready by anyone interested in the honest truth behind the bloody establishment of the Jewish State and the consequences of its ever-more-bloody policies.

Summary: Beginning with Herzl...
Comment: This important series of essays probes the situation of Israel, Zionism, and the crisis of the Jewish state. Non-Jewish voices have been either been silenced, or tossed in the towel in a hopelessly vexed situation where mere grumbling out loud can be called antisemitic. It is hard to to match the discourse of Jews themselves. Getting to the facts is almost a full time job, especially with the flying fortress amicus curiae stuff of people like Dershowitz in 'The Case for Israel'. Among many essays one probes the current post-Camp David 'cover story', 'Arafat's fault'...
One essay about Constantinian Judaism is especially insightful and the slow progression from ethical culture to power state is unnervingly on the mark. Jews are supposed to be smart people, but apparently not enough to grasp the slow but steady political destruction of the Jewish idea, too fragile to withstand the corrosive treatment of Machiavellian in Old Testament Hollywood applied to Palestinians.
Worth reading, agree or not, in a twisted news environment.
