<i>Ten Myths About Israel</i> is a useful primer for people just becoming familiar with the Palestinian liberation struggle - but it is far more than that. It is also a valuable tool for veteran organizers seeking to explain cogently and simply how Israel's foundational myths and ongoing propaganda perpetuate the oppression of the Palestinian people.

This book is an absolute must for an interested public, the political and the media class to understand what Israel is all about.
