Quotes
“Brash, gritty, personal, and close to the ground, this is a report from
an Israel and a Palestine we seldom see in the mainstream media. The
sharp-edged scenes and portraits in this disturbing book show why the
chances for lasting peace in the region have gone from bad to worse.”
Adam Hochschild, New York Times bestselling author
“The only worthwhile, honest discussion of Israel can come from someone
who possesses two attributes: fearlessness and expertise. Max Blumenthal
wields both in abundance, and the result is an eye-opening and
stunningly insightful book about the dramatic plight of a country
central to America’s political fortunes.” Glenn Greenwald, New York Times bestselling author
“A rich, roiling examination of ‘the State of Israel during a period of deepening political and societal crisis’…Dense, in-the-trenches reportage revealing details that go from grim to grimmer.” Kirkus Reviews
“It is about time someone wrote this book. Anyone who thinks he knows
what is happening in Israel and its occupied territories will think
again after reading this great work.” Charles Glass, American author, journalist, and broadcaster specializing in the Middle East
“Blumenthal’s Israel is represented by its basest instincts, a blunt look
at a country where citizens are clearly divided into the ‘haves’ and
the ‘have nots.’” Publishers Weekly
