No history is so disputed as the history of Israel. Some see Israel's creation as a dramatic act of justice for the Jewish people. Others insist that it was a crime against Palestine's Arabs.

Author David Brog untangles the facts from the myths to reveal the truth about the Arab-Israeli conflict. In Reclaiming Israel's History you'll learn how the Jewish people have maintained a continual presence in the Land of Israel for over 3,000 years—despite centuries of Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim persecution; how the Romans invented the word "Palestine" as a way to sever the connection between the Jewish people and their land (and how subsequent conquerors doubled down on this strategy); how modern Jewish immigration to Palestine did not displace Arabs but instead sparked an Arab population boom; and the largely untold story of how the leader of Palestine's Arabs collaborated with the Nazis to murder Jews in Europe before they could reach their ancestral homeland. You'll also learn why most of Palestine's Arabs never identified themselves as "Palestinians" until after the 1967 War; the extraordinary lengths to which Israel's military goes to protect Palestinian civilians (and the high price Israel's soldiers pay for this morality), and how the Palestinians have on separate occasions rejected Israel's offers of a Palestinian state in virtually all of the West Bank and Gaza.

Brog frankly admits to Israel's "sins both large and small," but notes that in any fair-minded analysis these have been far out- weighed by Israel's commitment to Western values, including freedom, democracy, and human rights. Honest, provocative, and timely, especially given rising anti-Semitism and the aggressive delegitimization of Israel, David Brog's Reclaiming Israel's History is the book for every reader who wants to understand what is really happening in the Middle East.

Review

"This is not the first excellent book on the Middle East conflict. But when listeners to my radio show ask me for one book to read in order to understand the Middle East conflict and Israel's history, this is the book I will recommend. Very few people combine the knowledge, the insight, and the ability to write clearly--for both novice and academic--as does David Brog. I believe that if just a small percentage of Western university students and of the world's Muslims read this book, Israel-hatred will begin to abate, and peace in the Middle East will nally be possible. That is how good it is."
--DENNIS PRAGER, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Prager University website

"One of the greatest threats to Israel today is the spread of a false narrative claiming that Israel is an oppressor, an occupier, and the obstacle to peace. These lies are dangerous--they inspire terrorists to murder and doom the prospects of peace. David Brog's important new book, Reclaiming Israel's History, tells Israel;s story in a way that dissects and destroys these lies. Anyone interested in defending Israel must read this book."
--PASTOR JOHN HAGEE, founder and chairman, Christians United for Israel

"David Brog is a friend of mine and of Israel, because he is a friend of the truth. He does his homework and lets the chips fall where they may. He's written a history of the State of Israel that tells Israel's inspirational story while thoroughly debunking the most widespread anti-Israel myths. If you are a friend of the truth as well, Reclaiming Israel's History is required reading to effectively defend and stand with Israel. The truth shall set you free."
--GLENN BECK, founder of TheBlaze television network, #1 New York Times bestselling author, and nationally syndicated radio host

Palestinian implacability

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been aware of the phony claims that the Palestinian leaders have been putting out for the last one hundred years; their implacable, irrational hatred of the Jewish people; their permanent refusal to ever co-exist with them; their fanatical determination to murder every single Jew in Israel and in the rest of the world; their deceit, lies, manipulative propaganda; and their practice of intimidating and killing any of their own people who dare to disagree with their fanaticism or want personal peace with Israelis. But this is the first book that I have ever seen that has so brilliantly and readably documented the whole one hundred year Palestinian lie and the clear, unpalatable fact that there will never be peace for the Israeli people. The Israelis are, and have to be, in a state of everlasting military alert and readiness backed by possibly the best intelligence system in the world. And they also have to cope with the hatred of every Islamic nation in the world, the blindness of the leaders of so many other nations, and the perversity of so many journalists and media who constantly swallow and publish skillful Palestinian propaganda.

Excellent!

Mr. Brog has produced one of the best books about Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict I have had the privilege to read in well over a decade.

With this book we see corrected many of the historical myths surrounding the history of such an intractable problem. Namely, that Palestinians have always existed as a distinct national group and that Israel "ethnically cleansed" them.

Studying the facts with an open mind can lead to only one conclusion: A Palestinian state does not exist because Palestinian leaders have repeatedly turned down offers of statehood.

Jews reclaiming Israel pre-2017

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

"Reclaiming Israel's History" by David Brog, 2017. Initially, regarding this book, I thought: "What another repetitious history of Israel like so many other similar books?" Much to my surprise, and I have read dozens of books regarding Israel, but I surprisingly found that I learned much new information regarding the history of Israel since the 1930s.

The main question that the author asks is: "Why is Israel a recognized State, but the Palestinians have failed to achieve Statehood?"

The author brings new and fresh perspectives in looking at the legal/political issues of how a people make up a nation, and how after WWII many European and Asian countries forcibly removed German families that had lived for centuries in their countries back to Germany, and how vast numbers of Hindu-Indians & Muslim-Pakistanis moved between their countries following India's division. The author analyzes these forcible migrations in comparison with the exodus of "Palestinians" from Israel in 1948 and Jews from Arab countries thereafter.

The author recounts some of the early history of the Zionist movement in the early 1900s, but surprisingly doesn't mention the Belfour Declaration nor its influence (no citation in the index). While the author briefly mentions some of the highlights of the various Israel-Arafat & Obama-Abbas "peace" negotiations, the author barely mentioned how the issue of the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees was the major stumbling block in why these negotiations eventually collapsed -- although he finally notes this issue about pages 170-172.

The author reviews the anti-Jewish riots of the 1920s in the British Mandate of Palestine, and how the British took on an anti-Zionist view during the 1930s, and curtailed Jewish immigration during WWII to appease the Arabs into not supporting the Nazi war effort.

The major shortcoming of this book is that while the author noted the long fraction between the Israeli-Jews and Palestinian-Muslims, he didn't get into analyzing "why" the Muslims held such animosity and hatred towards Jews or of an independent Jewish state. To understand this one needs to read "The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran" by Robert Spencer.

All of this leads the author to postulate, essentially: The Palestinians haven't achieved Statehood because their leaders have consistently declined to establish Statehood if that means they need to recognize a State (Israel) for the Jews."

While "another book about Israel", I found this book to provide new and fresh analysis of the Jews struggle in reclaiming their homeland -- and how despite the "peace" treaties with Egypt and Jordan remain fragile, as Palestinian Authority (PA) & Hamas warlords continue their anti-Jewish media propaganda and violent "lone wolf" attacks around Jerusalem. A fine read.

A thorough and fair analysis of the Jews' quest for and rights to a homeland. It is a shame that a small segment of the Arab people can threaten with death the fair-minded Arabs, so that a Two State Solution won't be adopted by them. I guess the Arabs enjoy the glory of martyrdom and using the victim role to justify the rockets and suicide bombers.
It is shameful.

The book reveals historical events of which I was unaware before, and gives an in-depth account of what actually happened, as opposed to what the pro-"Palestinian" commentators tell the public.

A fact based, objective analysis

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

It’s hard not to side with the Israelis after reading this book, but the author is the first to admit that the Israelis aren’t saints either. That’s why I say “objective” analysis. Yet I one salient point emerges throughout: the Israelis have repeatedly agreed to a generous 2 state solution. The Palestinian leaders have only ever agreed to one solution: the elimination of the Israelis and all Jews.

I consider myself very well informed on Israel's history and that of the Jews in what was Palestine. But this book opened my eyes regarding the permanent presence of Jews in that area. It is extremely well researched and written. I found the historical detail revealing and enlightening. I strongly recommend this work to everyone interested in the history of Palestine and Israel.

Scholarly, intellectual and meticulously researched enough to be a textbook yet reads like a conversation with a friend. Original and interesting perspectives on the current situation in the middle east as well as the historical context that is key to understanding the ongoing battle between Israel and its Muslim & Arab neighbors.
