In this comprehensive ideological, political, and military analysis, esteemed human rights lawyer Alan M. Dershowitz differentiates the threat posed by Palestinian military offensives and suicide bombers, which affect the personal safety of Israeli citizens, from the larger enemies that threaten Israel as a national entity. Anti-Zionist figures in politics and academia will wield a massive influence on the next generation approaching Middle East conflict, Dershowitz argues, and this will raise the support of Israel's very existence as an issue for debate on the American agenda. Here he examines the growing global battlefront against Israel and the diverse forces that together pose a serious and growing threat to the existence of the Jewish state.
