Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and, lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future? We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions.

In Israel and the West, it is called the Six Day War. In the Arab world, it is known as the June War or, simply, as "the Setback". Never has a conflict so short, unforeseen, and largely unwanted by both sides so transformed the world. The Yom Kippur War, the war in Lebanon, the Camp David accords, the controversy over Jerusalem and Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the intifada, and the rise of Palestinian terror are all part of the outcome of those six days.

On 27 October 2018 the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah was the site of the deadliest attack on Jews in American history.

But to those who have been paying attention, it was only a more violent, extreme expression of the broader trend that has been sweeping Europe and the US for the past two decades.

There has been a disturbing rise in antisemitism in Europe over the last 15 years, with violent attacks on Jewish targets, increased verbal antisemitism and an acceptability in many circles of what would hitherto have been condemned as outrageous antisemitic discourse. More recently, the Labour party have come under fire for engaging in antisemitic abuse. Yet despite the dramatic increase in discussion around antisemitism, there is a general sense of confusion about what should and shouldn't be defined as antisemitism - and particularly around criticism of the State of Israel.

The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the global jihad that has found renewed impetus in the latter portion of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the "peace process", Robert Spencer demonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators to ignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rather than healed, this conflict.

From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is the epic history of 3,000 years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism, and coexistence. How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the 'centre of the world' and now the key to peace in the Middle East?

Summary
AUDIO EXCLUSIVE: INCLUDES THE SONG “ELATION STATION” BY INFECTED MUSHROOM!
A “fascinating and very moving” (Aaron Sorkin, award-winning screenwriter of The West Wing and The Social Network) chronological timeline spanning from Biblical times to today that explores one of the most interesting countries in the world—Israel.
Israel. The small strip of arid land is 5,700 miles away but remains a hot-button issue and a thorny topic of debate. But while everyone seems to have a strong opinion about Israel, how many people actually know the facts?
Here to fill in the information gap is Israeli American Noa Tishby. But “this is not your Bubbie’s history book” (Bill Maher, host of Real Time with Bill Maher). Instead, offering a fresh, 360-degree view, Tishby brings her “passion, humor, and deep intimacy” (Yossi Klein Halevi, New York Times bestselling author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor) to the subject, creating an accessible and dynamic portrait of a tiny country of outsized relevance. Through bite-sized chunks of history and deeply personal stories, Tishby chronicles her homeland’s evolution, beginning in Biblical times and moving forward to cover everything from WWI to Israel’s creation to the disputes dividing the country today. Tackling popular misconceptions with an abundance of facts, Tishby provides critical context around headline-generating controversies and offers a clear, intimate account of the richly cultured country of Israel.

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long time
Excellent book and a must-read, especially now when conflicts have spiked recently. Don’t let yourself be misguided by the media and by public opinion. Through this very necessary book, along with some serious research if you wish, you’ll be able to get the facts straight and understand what’s behind this long history of conflicts. I can’t thank Noa enough for this masterpiece. And her performance is flawless! Best listen of the year so far.

A wonderful and important work
Noa Tishby deserves great credit for writing this fascinating and detailed account of Israel, from before its creation to the present day. She makes no apology for being a passionate Israeli herself, yet clearly understands the many difficulties facing Arabs and Jews as they try to share the Middle East.

my first review
I came to this book with limited knowledge of the history, hoping to hear unbiased historical information, as the book is presented as 'the facts'. Unfortunately, the sarcasm and gaslighting of Arab people throughout makes for a difficult listen. I believe this is unintentional on the author's part. There are plenty of valid points to be made from her side, but the delivery is tone-deaf.
Presented in part as personal history, Tishby often comes across as defensive, frustrated and impatient with contrasting opinions. Her suggested passage out of the ongoing conflict is for everyone to understand where blame should rightly be placed, which is rarely on the Israeli side, obviously. She doesn't for a second suggest that any of the 'facts' she presents might be blurry or arguable due to the complexity of human interactions and the fog of war. The result is that almost nobody with an alternative point of view will be swayed by this book. If anything, it will probably have the opposite effect, unfortunately.
The book plays well to its existing audience who will no doubt nod along in agreement, but its confrontational tone doesn't do the hard work of welcoming outsiders with different or incomplete points of view. At times it seems to be an emotional exercise in black and white thinking. It may help if Tishby occasionally acknowledged her own bias, that it's impossible for her to speak from or understand the Arab position with the same nuance she presents the Israeli side. Despite all this, it was worth the listen in order to understand many of the main arguments from the Zionist perspective.
This book led me to consider the potentially destructive power of connecting too closely with personal and national 'identity', and how opinions can be strongly shaped from an early age via traumatic personal experience and intergenerational belief bubbles. This plays out on both sides of the conflict. That probably wasn't the author's intention, but it will certainly help inform future conversations I have on this tricky topic. Get through it, if you can.

I hope this book will help
Israeli-American actor and producer Noa Tishby has written with ISRAEL what could be an important pro-Israel and pro-Zionist book if anti-Zionists would read it with an open mind. But they likely will not. Nevertheless, I appreciate her openness and honesty as well as her clear writing style and her superb narration skills although I fear it is all for naught. It is not non-Jewish Zionists like me she needs to convince.
ISRAEL includes lots of history in a book that is also intensely familial and personal. I hope it will get the wide readership it deserves.

So Helpful.. Dang Timely
I’ve always had a cursory idea of Israeli history, but with what has happened this last week and the appearance on Shapiro, I wanted to understand the history more deeply and feel much more educated on the topic. Although the book unpacks a LOT of history, the main points, important points, to help me understand the conflict are covered several times and that’s so helpful.. Lots going on there. I’m sure I’ll listen to it once more so solidify some truths. Really really helpful book!

As a forty year California lawyer, you would think that the words and tools to speak up for Israel would come easy to me Unfortunately, I get so angry with the bias against and misinformation about Israel that i find it hard to stay calm and make a case as I have been trained to do. Now thanks to Noa I have the facts and a measured voice. I have already bought several hardback copies to share with others. Keep going!

One of the most important books of our time
This is simply a book that every teacher, every student, every person - who prefers to be educated versus uneducated on one of the most serious and controversial topics of all times - Israel and the Middle East. Listening to Noa read her story is the icing on the cake and the very last handfuls of words spoken are the cherry on top. Read this book. The world needs you to. 🙏🏽

An Extraordinarily Important Read
This is the most fair and balanced account of Israel I’ve ever encountered. And it sets the record straight on issues of BDS, antisemitism, Zionism and anti-Zionism, and other issues that are far too often misunderstood. The clarity Noa Tishby provides is something the world needs badly. May it be widely read, and may its insights pave the way to healing, positivity, understanding, peace and progress.

A good book but for who
This book was very well written. It touched on topics that go back thousands of years to just a few months ago. The book mainly details on facts about Israel as well as the personal history and achievements of her family. I myself am a very strong pro Israel pro Zionist person. So I agreed with mostly everything she said. You do have to realize that this is coming from her own opinion and views and it is very one-sided pro Israel.As I agree with many of the things she said I truly enjoyed the book but was the book written for people like me or was the book written for people who really don’t know anything about Israel and would like to educate themselves. And if so how would you get them to read the book also they may find the book very one-sided and not find it truly objective.She took great detail to get all the facts straight she was very factual and very correct in her statements.
