| 520 | ## | $a>A forceful, legally framed defense of Israel against common global accusations, structured in 32 chapters that rebut claims such as Israel being the “prime human‑rights violator” or the primary cause of the Arab–Israeli conflict. Each chapter outlines “The Accusation,” identifies critics, then presents “The Reality” and “The Proof” using historical data, comparative analysis, and legal argumentation. Dershowitz argues that Israel faces unfair double standards—citing UN resolution statistics—and highlights the resilience of Israel’s judiciary, its targeted defense policies, and moral legitimacy. He also emphasizes his support for a two‑state solution and critiques excesses in some Israeli policies. The book sparked intense debate, including the high‑profile Dershowitz–Finkelstein dispute over alleged textual borrowing. |
