EROSION: UNDERMINING ISRAEL THROUGH LIES AND DECEPTION BY ALEX GROBMAN AND JIM FLETCHER
Erosion: Undermining Israel Through Lies and Deception analyzes some of the canards and methods used to delegitimize and undermine the state of Israel:
* Is all criticism of Israel antisemitic? When does criticism of her actions cross the line and become unacceptable? What are the criteria that make such condemnation antisemitic?
* The lack of sufficient water resources in the Middle East has become a source of tension which the Palestinian Arabs have adroitly exploited as a weapon against Israel. She is accused of not sharing scarce water resources and developing an effective waste management system.
* Homicide bombings are designed to terrorize, demoralize and crush the spirit of the Israeli civilian population. Understanding the nature of jihad and martyrdom is the first step in appreciating the nature of the danger and the physical threat they pose for Israel and the West.
* How does a government respond to the constant risk of homicide bombings that Israel faces? To thwart these attacks, Israel initiated targeted killings of Palestinian Arab terrorists, built a security fence and established checkpoints. For her efforts to protect her citizens, Israel is maligned throughout the world.
* Denouncing Israel as apartheid state is calculated to erode Israel’s legitimacy. It is a “pernicious and enduring canard.”
Erosion debunks these canards and exposes the Palestinian Arab’s systematic and unrelenting attempts to rewrite history and destroy all vestiges of Jewish historical presence in the Holy Land. Discrediting these fabrications is essential to understand the nature of the conflict and why it will remain intractable for the foreseeable future.
