Description
For more than a half-century, Israel has been forced to defend its existence against international political disapproval, racist calumny, and violence visited upon its citizens by terrorists of many stripes. While nations have always been made to defend their moral, political, economic, or social actions, Israel has the unique plight of having to defend its very right to exist.Covering Israel's struggle for existence from the British occupation and the UN8217;s partition of Palestine, to the dashed hopes of the Oslo Accords and the second intifada, Yaacov Lozowick trains an enlightening, forthright eye on Israel8217;s strengths and failures. A lifelong liberal and peace activist, he explores Israel8217;s national and160;regional political,160;social, and160;moral obligations as well as its right to secure its borders and repel attacks both philosophical and military. Combining rich historical perspective and160; passionate conviction, Right to Exist sets forth the agenda of a people and a nation, and elegantly articulates160;Israel8217;s160;entitlement to a peaceful coexistence with its surrounding Arab neighbors and a future of security and pride. An Israeli historian reviews the history of the state of Israel, its war of independence, and the Arab-Israeli conflict, and considers the arguments and accusations directed against the Jewish state from various sources. He finds many of these charges to be pernicious myths, and he offers a "just war" argument in favor of Israeli policies and actions. Author Lozowick is a former peace activist whose views have evolved over time.

Reviewer: Ethan Bronner, (New York Times Book Review)
"[RIGHT TO EXIST] is largely persuasive....Those seeking to rebut the most scurrilous charges against Israel would do well to read [it]."
