“Walter Block and Alan Futerman’s book is a valuable introduction to the problems between the Israelis and the Palestinians, especially when presented with more liberal or pro-Palestinian treatments. I appreciate the quantitative rigor with which the authors backed up their claims. This book helped me delve into previously unexplored areas. I am grateful. It should be required reading for college students worldwide, especially the professors and administrators.” (Milton, The Times of Israel, timesofisrael.com, November 29, 2023)
