Absolutely wonderful collection of writings by well-known Jewish Israelis opposed to the occupation, spanning a variety of topics.

Interesting and provocative. Concerned mainly with the operation of the right-wing Zionist lobbying and propaganda machine in the U.S. Many of the essays are already available on CounterPunch. Contributors tend to attribute the U.S.-Israel relationship mainly to the influence of AIPAC and its ilk rather than U.S. geopolitical interests, which led to accusations (by reviewers) of thinly veiled antisemitism in either Anarchy or Fifth Estate (can't remember which one) and some criticism in International Socialist Review, which led to an exchange with one of the contributors in the following issue. Nonetheless, definitely worth reading.

Right-wing conspiracy nut. Stay away.
