‘Honest, clear and powerful, Why Israel? is essential for understanding the reality of Israeli Apartheid. The book makes compelling case for supporting the Boycott, Divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israeli apartheid.’ ESSOP PAHAD- ANC stalwart and Former Deputy Minister and Minister in the cabinets of Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki ‘An unflinching account of the history of Israeli Apartheid and the calculated takeover of everything Palestinian. A highly important book that needs to be read and discussed frankly.’ RAMZY BAROUD – Editor of palestine Chronicle, journalist, and author of My Father was a Freedom Fighter : Gaza Untold Story (2010) ‘A timely, well-structured, lucid book. Relentlessly logical, a must-read resource for anyone with an interest in “democratic” Israel’s current precarious socio-political and economic position. Why Israel? Is superb, trenchant exposure of inequality, class and colour hatred in “democratic” Israel. It further exposes the militarisation and colonisation of Palestinian land by successive Israel governments, and their nefarious roles in the Middle East.’ ISMAIL COOVADIA – Former South African ambassador to Israel (now retired).
