Praise for this book
* Noting that he has been working on versions of these arguments since 1967, famed Harvard law professor Dershowitz offers "a proactive defense of Israel," a kind of amicus brief to "the court of public opinion." Not least among the exhibits are a WWII-era Muslim Palestinian leader who was "a full fledged Nazi war criminal, and he was so declared at Nuremberg"; a "vastly under populated" late 19th-century Palestine, to which European Jews began emigrating; and a 75-year-long Arab-Israel war that features "Arab nations dedicated to genocidal aggression against civilians." Each of the 32 chapters begins with a commonly heard accusation against Israel, with long quotes from reputable "Accusers" (including newspapers and intellectuals), followed by "The Reality" as Dershowitz sees it, and "The Proof," often drawing on the historical record. With a 150,000 first printing, a $150,000 marketing budget, a Today Show appearance on September 4 and an author tour, expect lots of discussion. (Sept. 2) (Publishers Weekly, August 4, 2003)
"...I recommend even more strongly [then The New Anti Semitism and A New Anti Semitism?] the handbook The Case for Israel..." (Sunday Telegraph, 5 October 2003)
"Dershowitz is especially effective at pointing to the hypocrisy of many of Israel's critics." (The New York Times - Book Review, November 9th, 2003)
"...It should be read by all who seek to be genuinely informed on the Middle East conflict..." (The Jewish Chronicle, 9 January 2004)
