Attorney Alan Dershowitz’s bestselling 2003 book The Case for Israel was flawed from the get-go by the fact that its author is Jewish and American. This is a topic best handled by an insider – and not a Jew, but an Arab. An Arab with intellectual curiosity, integrity, courage, and journalistic expertise. Lebanese-Iraqi journalist and scholar Hussain Abdul-Hussain fits the bill.
His current work of political analysis and essays The Arab Case for Israel is the book that I would recommend above all others for anyone who sincerely wants to understand the entrenched conflict between Jews and Arabs in Israel.
