— Joseph Agassi, Tel Aviv University
"A work of impressive scope and great precision."
— Edgar Morin, founding member of the International Ethical, Scientific and Political Collegium, Paris

"Those who believe that Zionism is a sequel of Judaism may do well to read this book; those who believe that Israel is a Jewish state must read it."
— Shlomo Sand, Tel Aviv University
"Convincingly and thoughtfully, the author analyses current political and religious trends in Israeli society. A remarkable accomplishment: to tell a complex story with such clarity and punch."
— Gregory Baum, Officer of the Order of Canada, Centre for Justice and Faith
"Erudite and attentive to detail, full of surprises even for those familiar with the subject, and at the same time easily accessible because written in a simple and direct language. Even though it is meticulously referenced, this book reads like a novel and fills an important gap in the extensive literature on Israel and Palestine."
— Dr. Rev. Pierre Goldberger, former Principal of the Theological College of United Church of Canada
"A key text in the search for a sustainable and just approach to the future of Israel and Palestine, and should be read and reflected upon by anyone concerned with the wellbeing of these two peoples."
— Richard Falk, former UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights
"One of the most important critiques of Zionism ever published."
— Mondoweiss
