For more than a half-century, Israel has been forced to defend its existence against international political disapproval, racist calumny, and violence visited upon its citizens by terrorists of many stripes. While nations have always been made to defend their moral, political, economic, or social actions, Israel has the unique plight of having to defend its very right to exist. Covering Israel's struggle for existence from the British occupation and the UN’s partition of Palestine, to the dashed hopes of the Oslo Accords and the second intifada, Yaacov Lozowick trains an enlightening, forthright eye on Israel’s strengths and failures. A lifelong liberal and peace activist, he explores Israel’s national andnbsp;regional political,nbsp;social, andnbsp;moral obligations as well as its right to secure its borders and repel attacks both philosophical and military. Combining rich historical perspective andnbsp; passionate conviction, Right to Exist sets forth the agenda of a people and a nation, and elegantly articulatesnbsp;Israel’snbsp;entitlement to a peaceful coexistence with its surrounding Arab neighbors and a future of security and pride.… (mer)

An excellent analysis of both the history of Israel and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The book is strongest when Lozowick is arguing his position; when he is presentling his historical analysis, it often appears as if he expects his reader to have more basic knowledge than might reasonably be expected. I knew what he was talking about, but I'm not sure if everyone will. The strongest part of Lozowick's writing is his willingness to address and acknowledge weaknesses and problems in the Israeli position. This is the exact opposite of the intellectual dishonesty so prevelant in those who oppose Israel and/or support the Palestinians. I just wish that more people who (a) don't know much about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or (b) support the Palestinians (often on the basis of incomplete or inaccurate information) would read this book with an open mind.
