Saving Israel: Ho the Jeish People Can Win a War That May Never End [Paperback]

The Jewish State must end, say its enemies, from intellectuals like Tony Judt to hate-filled demagogues like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Even average Israelis are wondering if they wouldn't be better off somewhere else and whether they ought to persevere. Daniel Gordis is confident his fellow Jews can renew their faith in the cause, and inSaving Israel, he outlines how.

• 2009 National Jewish Book Award winner
• Addresses the most pressing issues faced by Israel-and American Jews-today, without recycling the same old arguments
• Lays to rest some of the most pernicious myths about Israel, including: Jews could thrive without Israel; Israeli Arabs just want equality, and Palestinians just want their own state; peace will come, if Israel will just do the right things
• Morally powerful. . .from a writer whose reflections are consistently as intellectually impressive as they are moving. . . . Gordis addresses the exigencies of our time with the urgency they overridingly demand, and with the depth of feeling they inspire. -Cynthia Ozick

Gordis has written many popular personal essays and memoirs in the past, butSaving Israelis a full-throated call to arms. Never has the case for defending-no, celebrating-the existence of Israel been so clear, so passionate, or so worthy of wholehearted support.
