The mainstream narrative about Israel in the United States portrays it as a noble and deeply moral country fighting against the forces of darkness. This concise and insightful book of essays convincingly challenges that narrative. When it comes to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Washington has continued to give Israel generous and unconditional support, even though Israel’s treatment of
the Palestinians violates basic decency and is the principal roadblock to a peaceful settlement. The popular narrative, in other words, is at odds with reality.

... a provocative challenge to complacency and all those who claim to seek peace but disregard its essential human and moral imperatives. This volume represents a candid and courageous look at the underbelly of Zionism as an exreme, hypernationalist, exclusionary ideology and the injustices and pain it has inflicted upon its Palestinian victims. The fact that this collection dares to challenge the distorted and misleading "conventional wisdom" and prevalent misconceptions and stereotypical clichés takes us into the heart of the problem that has plagued the pursuit of peace in Palestine. ​It lays bare the failure of vision and integrity that has  undermined the search for a just solution.
