Summary:

I Have Been Tracking the propaganda war against Israel since the early 1970s. The Western media and professoriate's coverage of the bloody Intifada against the Jews has distorted both facts and context in grotesque ways. In a world of false narratives, those in the West who benefit from free speech and full human rights defend the utter absence of such rights in the Muslim world. Instead, academics and journalists call Israel the worst possible nation on earth. From 2003 through 2015, I wrote more than 200,000 words about anti-Semitism / anti-Zionism. I have selected the most important, most representative, or most unique pieces in this 63,000-word volume. I hope that this book will arm students on campus, professors who have an independent mind, future historians, and religious and government leaders. I want you to remember these events and to never forget them. Book jacket.
