Benjamin Pogrund, who spent 26 years as a journalist in South Africa investigating apartheid and who has been living in Israel for the past 15 years, investigates the accusation that Israel is practicing apartheid and the motives of those who make it. His study is founded on a belief in Israel, combined with frank criticism, to provide a balanced view of Israel’s strengths and problems.

To understand Israel today, one must first look at the past and so the book first outlines key foundational events to explain current attitudes. It then explores the contradictions found in the region, including discrimination against Israeli Arabs and among Jews, before concluding that it is wrong to affix the apartheid label to Israel inside the Green Line of 1948/1967. It also deconstructs the criticisms of Israel and the boycott movement before arguing for two states, Israeli and Palestinian, as the only way forward for Jews and Arabs.

This detailed and balanced study offers a unique comparison between South Africa and Israel and explains complex political and social situations in language accessible to all readers.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen A thoroughly researched and very readable book
    Bewertet in den USA am25. November 2015
    Verifizierter Kauf
    This is a thoroughly researched book from a writer who chooses to be as impartial as possible, which is rare in today's discussions of Israel. The book was dense with facts, but easy to read and the writer made his point, that Israel is NOT an apartheid state, without white washing what Israel does wrong. He shows both side, and how they have intersected in their history. He is very fair in his assessment of this subject.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen A Book Well Researched and Informative
    Bewertet in den USA am19. Juni 2017
    Verifizierter Kauf
    I had just finished reading Benjamin Pogrund’s book and I would recommend it to people who are interested in learning about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. This conflict is very complex and Israel is often accused of being an apartheid state. Benjamin Pogrund was editor of the Rand Daily Mail, a South African newspaper that was closed down in 1985, and he himself has a thorough knowledge of apartheid. He had been arrested and banned for his views and activities against apartheid. His passport was taken away from him a number of times. Eventually, it was returned to him and he emigrated to Israel where he founded the Yakar movement for peace and coexistence. He had researched his book by interviewing many Palestinians and Israelis. He starts his book giving a precis of his life and activities in South Africa as well as a short history of the Jewish People and their sufferings in Europe because of anti-Semitism over the centuries culminating in Israel’s establishment.

    The book at times is heavy going because of the incredible amount of statistics he gives on demography and other issues which he felt the reader should be aware.

    He also writes about South Africa under the White Apartheid Government. He is the ideal writer for a book as complex as this. He knows apartheid very well because of what he had experienced and he knows the Israeli psyche very well too. He does criticize Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians under their rule as well their suffering under occupation. Despite that, he maintains it is still far from apartheid.

    Pogrund refutes the argument that Israel is an apartheid state and he gives very good and convincing reasons for his conclusion. His book is well referenced and very informative. He has written objectively, which is a feat in itself. Many books on this subject are emotional and biased according to views of writers, who are more motivated by their ideology rather than presenting the truth and being objective. This book was written in 2014 and takes the reader up to the Gaza War. It, therefore, is a bit dated as much has happened after that. The Middle East and Israel are dynamic and the situation does change. However, the problems remain unchanged.

    Backed by statistics and well researched, this book will change and inform attitudes for both Jews and non-Jews, and destroy many preconceived ideas about Israel, the occupation of the West Bank and the way forward for Israel and the Palestinians.

    3,0 von 5 Sternen Nice compilation of Israeli government views
    Bewertet in den USA am4. September 2016
    Verifizierter Kauf
    If you want a compilation of Israeli government arguments as to why Israel is not an apartheid state, this is a very handy reference volume. Pogrund has long stood as Israel's propagandist-in-chief on this topic, partly because he can bring to the debate his background as a former South African academic who claims, on this basis, superior insight about what apartheid truly is. In actuality, his analysis is a patchwork of polemics and random arguments drawing from everywhere except the most authoritative source, which is international law. Instead, he tends to emphasize practices and appearances (such as voting rights, which differ from the South African system) rather than definitions of apartheid developed by the international community (for which the significance of voting rights is contingent on whether they actually serve or relieve racial domination). Indeed, Pogrund doesn't engage with law effectively here at all. The book consists of several essays he's written over the years, glued together with transition material to make them into a book, but is mostly polemical and also reflects his own biases that contradict stark evidence. For example, he casts the entire settlement project in the occupied territories as the work of crazed extremists, instead of the coherent and official state-led project that it obviously is. He also repeatedly mixes up the situation of Palestinian citizens of Israel and Palestinians living under occupation, and sometimes wanders off into ad hominem denunciations of various authors taking a different view. Again, this volume is useful in providing Israeli government arguments, especially for those seeking talking points to defend Israel against charges of apartheid, but for those seeking an academic or otherwise evidence- and theory-driven analysis, this book will be of limited use except as a reference.

    Bewertet in den USA am4. November 2014
    Verifizierter Kauf
    While I’m sure some will argue that Pogrund is too evenly-handed in his approach, I believe this is what gives the book its credibility. ‘Drawing Fire’ will not please those adherents of the maxim - “my country right or wrong".
    I contend that it is essential reading for those who are willing to approach the question with an open mind.
    In my view, anyone wishing to arm themselves effectively with the relevant facts to counter the apartheid canard should read ‘Drawing Fire’. It should be compulsory reading for students of history, political science and those advocates for Israel, whether serving in NGOs or Israel’s diplomatic service.
    Sir Harold Evan’s says it succinctly and poignantly in the foreword:"Everyone who cares about how Palestinians and Israelis may live together should read this compelling book.”

    4,0 von 5 Sternen A Comprehensive Book on The Israel-Palestine Situation from an Israeli Perspective
    Bewertet in Kanada am 13. Oktober 2023
    Verifizierter Kauf
    This is an excellent book. The reader should be aware that it definitely has an Israeli leaning and as such a clear Palestinian/Arab accounting of the facts is somewhat missing. That said, I believe the author is genuine in his search for the truth. I encourage readers both Israeli and Palestinian to consider reading but to take accounts presented with consideration of the bias present. While the author concludes that Israel is not an Apartheid state, it is interesting to note that he has reversed this view in recent Guardian article dated August 2023.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen A palpably honest book that does an excellent job of exposing half–truths, as well as outright lies
    Bewertet in Großbritannien am 14. Dezember 2014
    Verifizierter Kauf
    A half-truth is a half-lie. This palpably honest book does an excellent job of exposing the half–truths, as well as the outright lies, that are currently favoured by many of Israel's detractors – and by many of its supporters.

    In exposing the dynamics underlying Israel's occupation of the West Bank, in "Investigating accusations of apartheid in Israel" (the book's subtitle), in laying bare the conceptual foundations of the "Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions" (BDS) movement, and in showing up a variety of mistakes by people who should (and probably do) know better, Benjamin Pogrund has compiled a most impressive array of facts and examples, avoiding, as far as I can tell, bias due to selective omission; he has drawn credible conclusions from them; and, being neither a historian nor a political scientist, he has presented the results in the accessible language of the distinguished journalist that he is.

    He certainly knows whereof he speaks. He is a former South African journalist who pioneered the reporting of black politics and black existence under apartheid. For more than 25 years working at the Rand Daily Mail, his professional values caused him to be persecuted and, at one point, imprisoned. He emigrated after the newspaper, of which he was then deputy editor, was closed down in 1985 because of its opposition to apartheid.

    He is also well equipped to understand matters pertaining to Israel and its Arab subjects on either side of the Green Line. In 1997, after a little over a decade working as a journalist in London, he migrated again, this time to Jerusalem to found a centre devoted to dialogue between Jews and Jews, Jews and Muslims, Jews and Christians, Israelis and Palestinians. From his base in Jerusalem, he has also worked extensively with leading Palestinian writers and journalists to further dialogue on bringing an end to the occupation and must have learned much from them.

    While the book is admirably balanced, the reader is not left in the slightest doubt as to where Pogrund stands. Just as he eviscerates the cases of those who – whether through ignorance or malice – claim that Israel practices apartheid and the overlapping, but not identical, collection of those who call for BDS, he makes very clear his abhorrence of Israeli settlers and those who connive with them in their use of "deceit, lies, theft, corruption, illegality, cynicism and brute force."

    I was led to speculate that each side profits from the other. On the one hand, Israelis know full well that, whatever its faults, Israel comes nowhere close to practicing apartheid. Allegations that it does so play into the hands of its right wing politicians in two ways. One is by making it easier for them to dismiss all criticism as ill-informed, or worse. The other is by enabling them to use fear of delegitimisation campaigns to bring more voters into their camp. On the other hand, the support – both overt and covert – for the settlement enterprise by right wing governments is grist for the mill of those who campaign against the country. Pogrund does not, however, engage in this or any other speculation. He sticks to the facts, and his book is all the stronger for it.

    This must have been a painful book to write. It's a painful book to read. For that reason mainly, it isn't an easy read. But it's an important one.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Taking the bashing out of critiicism of Israel
    Bewertet in Großbritannien am 12. Februar 2015
    Verifizierter Kauf
    This is the only source I have found that hangs Israel's dirty wash out in public - removing exaggerations and libels, making it possible to bring criticism of Israel into the realm of reason instead of hysteria. This is necessary if one wants to support any kind of peace processes.

    One of the examples of balance that really sticks in my mind is that I got confirmation of two truths which are usually never presented in the same source: Yes, it is true that Israeli settlers destroyed as much as possible before being dragged out of Gaza. Yes, it is true that some philanthropists bought and protected a greenhouse complex - and gave it to the Palestinians who could have benefited enormously from the business - but who instead destroyed it.
