common sense

We never read these types of books in more than a cursory way.

With that said, this type of anti-Israel stuff that goes on today
was unthinkable when i was a child. It's sheer madness to side with the
hordes of Anti-Jewish and Anti-Christian Islamic Extremists.

As an illustration, let's assume we are on a airliner.

The Jewish person is most likely to be behind the on-flight
Movie.

The Christian beside you is talking when you want to sleep.

And the Arab is trying to blow the plane out of the sky.
Or saying non-seniscal prayers in order to test the planes
security and safety measures.

Let's not fall under a "strong delusion" about the state of our world.

As a Christian it is my belief that Israel is very important to God himself.
I realize not all Muslims are bad people , and in many cases I admire their
stands of morality and decency. But America's foreign policy must include
Israel as an Ally, or we are more or less placing bets in a Trojan horse race!

Excellent Book

This book should be required reading for history classes in high school and at universities. Most major allegations against Israel are refuted by solid, historical fact. You don't need to be Jewish to understand the compelling need for this book and its ability to debunk the many negative myths that are associated with Israel.

Book's main source is "Bandar" Bush - Saudi Ambassador to the US

Reviewed by Jonathan Brun, 2009-05-29

This book may seem interesting on the surface, but check his sources. A main source is the Saudi Ambassador to the US. That would be akin to "A Defense of the Soveiet Union" and using the cuban ambassador to a country as your main source.

Not much more to add, but this book is very, very weak.

If you can defend a confirmed murderer you can write anything

Reviewed by Dana Abed, 2009-05-27

If you are willing to read more than 200 pages of Israeli apologetics based on nothing more than the writer's biased opinion without resort to historical fact or reason, then go ahead and read this book. For the more intelligent folks out there, do a bit more research on the author and his biases (read financial interests) before you waste $10.

mythbuster

Reviewed by John Michaels, 2009-05-11

This book is great not only because of how well it is written, but this book busts all the common myths you've probably heard about Israel on the internet, and TV media, especially if you live outside the US, where guilt for Muslims clouds the truth about Israel, and its aggressive neighbors and the terror citizens face each day simply for being Jewish, and not wanting to be part of a global caliphate. A must have, as most Palestinian apologists have the hateful talking points of their own in their minds as if they were anything close to resembling fact.
