I read Noa Tishby’s book. I am underwhelmed, to put it mildly. Infuriated, is more appropriate. She writes like an overly-privileged SJW who happens to be Jewish. She spends too much of her time apologizing for the Arab Palestinians, and no time discussing the true history of the radical Islamic right. She all but ignores the Hitlerian connection to the Husseini and Khomeni families, says nothing of the Khartoum Resolution, and is amazingly quiet on UNRWA schooling- as in teaching that Israel does not exist, and children should pray to be martyrs. She does not delve into the sheer hatred Islamists have for the Jewish people, and merely tips her kipah to the anti-Jewish Hadiths. She does not address the overwhelming acceptance of Hamas’ actions, current and prior, by Arab Palestinians, and spends little to no time discussing exactly why they appear poor as dirt- while many have money, markets, jewels and designer clothes. In my world she does little good outside of condemning - again- as if we have not had much more powerful women and men condemning much more loudly, the treatment of Israeli women by the terror groups.

Noa skillfully captured the essence of what Israel is and how it came to be, with all the complexity explained. This book is reader-friendly and filled with insights backed by facts that everyone should know. I strongly recommend it to whoever wants to know what is really going on in the Middle East.

Garbage book. Filled with lies.

A must read read for folks like me who have always championed Israel but never really knew her.

For anyone who speaks out in favor or against Israel, or for those who feel they are not knowledgeable enough to.

This should be required reading at all levels of education!

Misunderstood? what the heck did i just read?

Factually wrong. Total garbage.
