Saving Israel: How the Jewish State Can Win a War that May Never End

Advances Praise for SAVING ISRAEL."One of Israel's most thoughtful observers-an American who made Israel his home, despite its imperfections and dangers."-Alan Dershowitz, author of The case for Israel"Daniel Gordis's morally powerful Saving Israel, from a writer whose reflections are consistently as intellectually impressive as they are moving, engages in an acutely necessary argument: that sovereignty has significantly changed the Jewish condition by influencing how we think. Gordis addresses the exigencies of our time with the urgency they overridingly demand, and with the depth of feeling they inspire."-Cynthia Ozick"An important book. Bold in his willingness to be forthright and politically incorrect, Gordis sets forth propositions which are difficult for many to accept, such as the fact that Israel's existence is more important than peace and that Israel can never be a copy of the American style liberal democracy. For, as he notes, what is at stake is not merely a state, but the only Jewish State in 2000 years, and the very future of the Jews worldwide, including those who do not live in that State. Hopefully, Saving Israel will inspire constructive discussion and analysis of core issues that Israelis, Jews everywhere, and the entire West have studiously avoided for far too long."-Natan Sharansky, former Soviet dissident and Israeli Cabinet Minister; author of Defending Identity: Its Indispensable Role in Protecting DemocracyGordis, Daniel is the author of 'Saving Israel: How the Jewish State Can Win a War that May Never End', published 2009 under ISBN 9780471789628 and ISBN 0471789623.
