This is a fantastic short book that focuses on the main anti-Israel lies being perpetuated on college campuses and in communities across North America and Europe. Each chapter deals concisely with the lie and provides solid evidence to refute those lies. This is a must read for anyone who needs a guide to wade through the disinformation about Israel's war with Hamas.

Alan Dershowitz, in this tiny book, presents an argument about the 10 Big Anti-Israel lies and it's powerful. In his introduction, he categorizes them into past, present, and future. He then presents each of the myths and rebuttals in separate chapters.

Mr. Dershowitz is very thorough with his facts and presents the political history of the disputed territory. It is clear that he is pro-Israel, but he is also balanced because he does think it would be beneficial to have a two-state system and that the surrounding Arab nations are against it.

This book was written as an informational guide how to talk to the Pro-Palestinian protestors he feels are misinformed about the truth, in his opinion, about the Israeli-Arab conflict that came to its ultimate explosion on October 7, 2023.

This short book is excellent, and you must read it if you desire to understand the truth regarding Palestine.

Good, short book

This was a good intro to those that don't understand some of the basic history of Israel. My spouse and I both read it and have recommended it to several people..

If I could, I would give 4.5 stars but since this book is so important and contains valuable information and arguments, rounding up to 5 will do.

Alan Dershowitz takes on the ten most repeated libels against Israel and the path towards peace with her Palestinian (and Arab) neighbours.
The book is aimed first and foremost at students encountering hate aimed at Israel on campus. It provides solid refutes to the top ten most shouted claims and elaborates on the background behind both the misleading claims and the real situation. I think it is rather sad that the people who need to hear this information the most will not pick up this book (as per the title and so on, the core of the problem is blatant disinformation on the side of the so-called Pro-Palestine crowd).

The ebook - or e-pamphlet, as it is rather compact - helpfully includes clickable links to the sources Dershowitz cites, making his text somewhat more transparent.

There is an issue with some of the facts Dershowitz cites, mainly that he only sparsely gives citations and the reader will need to research and verify his words independently, which makes the process more cumbersome. He also gets a few small but important details wrong: he refers to "Iran" when he means the Iranian Islamic Regime (since the Iranian people are in no way of the same mind as their dictator) and quotes a failed two-state deal in 2007 that happened in 2008, though I can understand that he took the year from the Annapolis conference, where things were still looking positive. Only in 2008 did the Palestinian leadership turn down statehood for their people.

But overall, a very concise little book with some valuable talking points. I thoroughly recommend it!

Great book for high school and college students to learn the FACTS about Israel. Dershowitz is fair and knowledgeable. Plus the book is only 80 pages!

A Manipulative and One-Sided Narrative
The Ten Big Anti-Israel Lies claims to offer "truthful and well-documented facts," but instead, it manipulates information to fit a biased, pro-Israel agenda. Rather than fostering balanced debate, the book dismisses any criticism of Israel as lies, ignoring the complexities of the conflict. It presents itself as a tool for open-minded discussion but fails to provide a fair representation of the issues. By simplifying and distorting historical facts, it spreads its own form of misinformation while pretending to promote dialogue. This is not an honest exploration, but a one-sided attempt to shut down legitimate criticism.

I'll start by saying that at what point I admired the author and then lost interest because of his political leanings. He made some good points in the book which will certainly help with family members who's anti-zionism has become out of control, so for this I say to the author, Thank you

There is some interesting information here, though it feels like more of a bullet point primer on the issue where I was hoping for something a bit more robust to get a fuller understanding of the conflict and the history of Israel. That said, it is written in a pretty readable way; it doesn't feel like slogging through a dense textbook. It's fine for a sort of jumping off point, and I am more interested now in finding some books that offer that more robust picture I was looking for.

I've been trying to educate myself on this issue for a long time now and, while I didn't have much hope of finding arguments in this book I hadn't heard before, I was also absolutely not expecting such a poorly justified barrage of supposed arguments that in reality are nothing more than "they are the bad ones, we are the good ones" repetition ad nàuseam. Even the sources are flimsy at best, and never comes from neutral media and/or stances.

Honestly, I must say that if the intended audience of this book is people already convinced of the points it tries to make, it is a waste of resources because they don't need convincing; but if they were trying to convince people who are looking for different visions of the conflict it falls very short of anything that could be able of doing so.
