Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth

Excellent book, excellently written about an excellent country. Filled gaps in my knowledge and was a pleasure to read. Am Yisrael Chai!

Incredibly insightful and refreshing account of what Israel really is and isn't. I would highly recommend this for personal education

I didn’t know what to expect from this and it really surprised me with its irreverent style and great insights.

As the scurrilous output of anti-Israel propaganda reaches new heights, here is a book which serves as an antidote. "Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth" by Noa Tishby, is both a personal account and a history. It tells the story of the Zionist movement and the creation and survival of Israel in straightforward but accurate terms, interwoven with the authors own experiences and stories of her family history which cover the same period. Tishby points out that far from being a colonial enterprise, Israel is a country created by refugees who had nowhere else to go. The book is written in a refreshing colloquial style, at times amusing and always interesting. Tishby deals extensively with the attempts by the Arab world to destroy Israel by force of arms, and now by incessant propaganda and attempts to delegitimize the Jewish State. The latest manifestation of this, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) attacks are merely a front for the continued intention to destroy the Jewish State. As long as there are Jews and Israelis like Noa Tishby there is no doubt that Israel will survive. The book is available from Amazon in Hardcover, Kindle and Audiobook editions.

This is a very comprehensive book about the story of Israel, from the Roman times up to today. Well written, detailed but easy to read it also adds piece of stories taken from the personal life of the author and her ancestors. It is informative and also a sort of family romance. It also goes on to describe today’s Israeli society, its contradictions, issues and strong points. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great book which explains everything so well. Certainly worth buying and you'll kick yourself if you don't!

She's all in it, very one-sided account. Here or there admits to Israels faults, but it's clear where she stands. I havnt fact checked a lot, but i'd imagine many people might have different accounts. Yet, it is utterly important to learn this history, and the view from this side. You can't help agree with most points. I am curious what the authors view were since the recent conflict, but seems she has withdrawn from submitting public opinions. Fair enough - im sure it's stressful

writing style is easy to read, well sourced answers, and provide an interesting perspective

Valeu esperar, é best seller!!

Noa Tishby ist sowieso eine tolle Frau, Rednerin und Aktivistin für Israel und in diesem Buch bechreibt sie spannend, unterhaltsam und kompetent die komplexe und hochemotionale Geschichte dieses fantastischen Landes. Authentisch, erhellend und absolut grundlegendes Wissen, empfehlenswert!!!

A must readable book if you really want to know Israel and Palestine conflict.

Noa Tishby has done what so many people have not been able to do. To clearly, factually, and personally explain what Israel is. She does it be writing in a style that average Americans can understand easily. So it is not difficult reading. I encourage people to buy and read this book.

Très bien
