Negative Positive
Title: This book doesn't offer any substance
Review: I agree with the criticisms posed in the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and other book reviews. This book is factually inaccurate. It oversimplifies a complex issue and presents an erronious conclusion. Author Richard Ben Cramer shows his dislike for Israelis with angry generalizations, while he demeans Palestinians by presenting them as some modern day "noble savage." He ignores Hamas and other terrorist groups who are committed to eliminating the state of Israel when he presents his view, gained after "ten minutes of thought," that achieving peace is as simple as Israel pulling back to its insecure pre-1967 lines. For people who want understanding of the complex problems making it difficult for Palestinians to achieve statehood, look elsewhere.
