One great collection! Jul 12, 2008
Persecution, Privilege, & Power
This wonderful compendium by author Mark Green would be a bargain at twice the price. Green's selection of pieces is both thoughtful and informed... many of the classic pieces are here: Paul Eisner's "Jewish Power" not least among them. For anyone interested in catching up on the discourse about the relationship of Judaism to Jewishness to Zionism, and of course, on the influence of this conundrum on American poltical and cultural life, will find the price of this book money well spent. Contact info for the authors of these carefully chosen pieces is provided. This book is contribution of inestimable value to the finally emerging national disourse on this thorny subject.

This is a MUST READ for all Americans! Jul 07, 2008
This book along with books such as President Jimmy Carter's "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" and Meirsheimer and Walt's book "The Israel Lobby", and other such morally courageous books will help fellow Americans to take action to insist that our government take the right actions and do what's best for the American people first and foremost, and in a moral way. This book is a great read because it has thirty different authors whose various viewpoints all converge on one general conclusion, and that is that our government's overzealous attachment to Israel is hazardous and detrimental to Americans, not to mention the Palestinians, Iraqis, Lebanese, and perhaps even Iran, whom the Israel Lobby is pushing the US to attack, even though Israel is reputed to have over 250 nuclear warheads and has not signed the nuclear non-proliferating act, which Iran has. At any rate, after reading this book, and all the various authors' takes on issues with regarding our government's extremely preferential treatment to the Jewish state of Israel, which is not a democracy since it does not allow completely equal rights for all regardless of religion or ethnicity, I believe many Americans will come to believe as I do that like apartheid South Africa, the US should boycott Israel until it transforms into a true democracy and allows the Palestinian Refugees their inalienable Right to Return to their ancestral homeland Palestine-Israel as equals and with reparations. This books offers a fascinating and vitally important blend of politics, religion, discussion of media manipulation, and history, and more! I sincerely believe it is a MUST READ for all Americans. It's in the best interest of this country's future, and indeed the rest of the world.

Survival Sampler May 11, 2008
I have read way too many books about Israel-Palestine. To every friend who wants to start understanding why we are locked into endless Middle East War, I recommend "Persecution, Privilege & Power" as the best to buy first or next. No matter how much or how little you may know about the Middle East debacle, this particular collection cuts to the current state-of-the-problem.

The best collection of essays ever compiled! GREAT BOOK! Mar 18, 2008
QUESTION: Is there really a powerful Jewish lobby?
ANSWER: An Israeli politician proposed joining the USA as the 51st state. "Are you mad?" his colleagues retorted, "if we were another state, we would have two senators and a few congressmen. Now we have at least 80 senators and hundreds of congressmen!
The best collection of essays ever compiled! GREAT BOOK!
