Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe Dark of Side of Zionism provides the reader with an insightful and fact-based historical analysis of Israeli policies which have sought that country's own security through the insecurity of others. Given that the United States has largely subsidized these policies, the book constitutes a public service to American readers who have had little else than propaganda to make a judgment on what is really going on in Israel and Palestine. -- Lawrence Davidson, West Chester University
The great merit of The Dark Side of Zionism stems from its combination of a dispassionate analysis of the many facets of Israeli aggression, on the one hand, with a keen and consistent moral compass, on the other. The result is a work both scholarly and just, a valuable addition to this never-ending controversy. -- Joel Kovel, author of
Overcoming Zionism
A worthy sequel to How Israel Was Won, updating the Zionist colonization of Palestine and Israeli practices of 'soft apartheid' within its pre-1967 borders as well as 'hard apartheid' in the occupied territories. A lucid and well documented textbook based primarily on new Israeli sources and complete with a concise appendix on 'Water Wars.' -- Clement M. Henry, The University of Texas at Austin
This book is one which deserves a wide readership and the discussion and debate which will ensue. It is high time that all of us — on all sides of the question — see things as they really are. * Issues Of The American Council For Judaism *
