I too was a media-savvy person and believed the talking points of the American corporate press and was on board with our Middle East policy. However. the brutality of the attack on Gaza last summer compelled me to dig deeper. I could not understand how a people who believe they are God’s chosen people and who suffered unspeakable brutality during the Holocaust, could wreak such death and destruction on a suppressed people with no Army, no Navy and no Air Force and who had nothing at all to do with the Holocaust..
I started by Googling words like Belfour Declaration, the Irgun, the Nakba, the Stern Gang, King David Hotel, Plan Dalet, “mowing the lawn” and USS Liberty, to mention just a few. A new narrative started to emerge. It was a narrative that was very discomforting and at odds with what I had so firmly believed.
Along the way I came across this book, which succinctly summarized and documented all I had discovered by Googling individual terms.
If you have a hard time believing what is written in this book do your own research.
The Zionist goal is to seize as much Palestinian land as possible even if it required the extermination of the Palestinians people on that land—Plan Dalet. It appears that Israel was born of death and destruction by Zionist terrorist groups—an inconvenient and discomforting truth.
Albert Einstein was so incensed by this travesty, he wrote a letter to the NYT in which he presciently warned us against the Zionist fascists. ( You can read it online.) This is a " must read" book for those interested in understanding why we give Israel over 3 billion dollars a year in military aid..

An interesting book, I think that it is important to look into the origin of conflict in the Middle East. Too many people never take the time to look into the things that are constantly broadcast by the media and just accept what they hear. I certainly learned things I did not know from this book, well done!

I couldn’t put this book down. Alison has truly done her research and what she’s found is not good.

As a Christian, this book was hard to accept given the sacred status of Jews in the Bible... but the true prophets of old always brought to light Israel’s indiscretions and called her to repent!

This book is easy to read but hard to swallow. Very informative and sad to know that so many are deceived...

Weir writes an extremely well documemted account of the US role in the creation of Israel. This is a must read for all Jewish US citizens who want to know more on the topic, especially the roles played by Brandise Frankfurter and Truman, whose actions are not particularly on the public domain.

Extraordinarily well researched book; well structured and convincing, Most astounding is how the Zionist charade for so many decades was so successful. I have to confess that 30 years ago my sympathies rested exclusively with Israel, probably as a result of how the Palestinian issue was portrayed on TV. If asked back then to conjure the image of a Palestinian in my mind's eye, the image would have been of a twenty something male, hair shaggy, unkempt, unshaven, face distorted in anger, screaming some unintelligible epitaphs, behind him a burning American flag in a rubble strewn street. This was, of course the image fed endlessly to me.
The internet has shed the scales from my eyes. Weir's book chronicles the absolute deception that has plagued American thinking. Thank you, Allison

Several years after posting my review, I found that my modest posting has attracted , by far, the most comments. That was what I expected. I suppose you might say, I engineered it. I used the word "Hasbara" in the title and as I suspected the key word drew an army of, well....Hasbara. The Hasbara community is well stepped in the art of duplicity as evidenced by the comments posted in response. The internet will be your undoing as it is not subject to the coercion and manipulation you wield upon the once powerful MSM

Criticism of Israel is often met by defenders who attempt to conflate anti-Zionism and Antisemitism. The book is so well documented that tactic does not work. Ms Weir exposes the activities of justices Brandeis and Frankfurter, and AZEC, as they placed their own interests above the well being of their own nation. America and the world have been paying for it ever since. For anyone determined to find the root causes of the Middle East disaster, this book is an excellent starting point. Thank you, Alison Weir.
