	israelinsider: Views: The Case for a Larger Israel
		Israel's need to be viable has not been considered by the international community since 1920, when the much larger original borders of what was to become British Mandate Palestine -- a homeland for the Jews -- were agreed upon.
		Israel may have the nuclear weapons capability to blow up many who hate it, but to exist as a healthy nation -- to be a viable State -- Israel's security and well being, including social, political, and economic needs must be unassailable.
		Israel must exist on a plot of land large enough for it to be self-reliant.

	Review of: The Case for Israel, by By Alan M. Dershowitz (Bernard J. Shapiro) September, 2003
		Israel faces an onslaught of anti-Semitic propaganda generated by the Islamic/Arab nations and joined by both the Fascist Right and Extreme Left in Europe, the US, the UN and many other nations from Africa to the Far East.
		Israel must help create a Palestinian State by withdrawing from the "occupied" territories.
		Dershowitz concludes with a concept that the Israel is "the Jew among the nations." In other words the anti-Semites look at Israel as a macrocosm of "the Jews" they hate, fear and wish to destroy.

	JEWSWEEK - The Case for Israel
		I challenge Israel's accusers to produce data supporting their claim that, as one accuser put it, Israel "is the prime example of human rights violators in the world." They will be unable to do so.
		It is important to present these historical facts as part of the current case for Israel, because distortion or omission of the painful history is a staple of the case often made against the Jewish state.
		Like any other democracy, Israel and its leaders should be criticized whenever their actions fail to meet acceptable standards, but the criticism should be proportional, comparative, and contextual, as it should be with regard to other nations as well.

	The Strange Case Of Jared Israel
		Israel is a tiny country with very hard-to-defend borders, surrounded by Muslim-dominated countries with about 50 times Israel's population.
		Well, Israel is surrounded by 'Muslim-dominated countries', but this 'tiny country' with the third nuclear potential in the world is fully supported by the 'Jew-dominated country', which happens to be the world's only superpower.
		Though Jared Israel thinks the war against Iraq is the worst thing for Israel, probably he has in mind some other Israel, as all senior politicians of the Jewish state, its prime-ministers and ministers for defence, its spokesmen, official and unofficial, publicly and privately call for war.

		Israel is required in the first phase to withdraw from those areas it occupied since September 2000; to dismantle all settlements that were built during Sharon’s administration; and to freeze all settlement activities.
		On the same day Benny Morris, an Israeli historian, told Ha’aretz that recently declassified documents of the Israel Defense Force that date back to 1947 revealed that Ben Gurion and other Zionist leaders came to the conclusion that the land assigned by the UN to the Jews was not big enough.
		Yesterday, when the case against her was due to begin in open court, the prosecution announced that it was dropping all charges and abandoning the trial.

		The Israel Defence Force (IDF) refused to recruit women as pilot trainees, claiming that women’s shorter period of mandatory service and reproductive function made it too costly for the government to invest in training female pilots.
		The case demonstrates that economic discrimination issues are also being litigated outside the scope of Labour Laws.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Making the Case for Israel by Alan M. Dershowitz
		Israel is the only country in modern times that has never dropped bombs on enemy capitols in retaliation for bombs dropped on its own civilians.
		Israel should be proud of the way it has fought the wars that were thrust upon it for so many years.
		But Israel builds a moveable fence, a fence that three times already has been moved by order of the Israeli Supreme Court and by the Israeli government in response to changes on the ground, and that seems to be the greatest violation of international law.

	The Case for Israel (2003)
		This part of the argument is actually neither necessary nor sufficient for his case and why he would choose to make it is a bit of a mystery to me. Unfortunately, it provides ample ammunition to critics who are quick to point out the problem.
		The point, however, is that instead of blindly defending Israel, the author proposes a fair perspective of Israel's record in just about every area and then suggests the (apparently revolutionary) notion to compare Israel with others instead of singling out for condemnation.
		But the basic point is clear: Israel accepted the peace and returned the lands, a rare instance of a victorious state abandoning territories that rightfully belonged to it by the right of conquest in return for peace.

		I was lecturing at Haifa University in Israel during the summer of 2000, so I observed firsthand the enthusiasm and anticipation with which so many Israelis awaited the outcome of the peace process that had begun with the Oslo Accords in 1993 and appeared on track toward the acceptance of a two-state resolution.
		Suddenly Israel was the pariah, the villain, the aggressor, and the destroyer of peace.

	ISRAEL
		In the case of Israel and the Palestinians, however, as Israel naturally does not want foreign observers, let alone a UN military force to protect the Palestinians, the United States defers to Israel (as it did to Indonesia in East Timor) and refuses to support even an observer presence without the ethnic cleanser's acquiesence.
		Israel Shamir also compares the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians in Intifada II unfavorably to the anti-Jewish pogroms in Czarist Russia, where the casualties were much smaller and where, after the pogrom, "all writers and intelligentsia condemned the perpetrators.
		Israel was also free to organize and maintain a proxy army in South Lebanon to serve its post-invasion "iron fist" cross-border policies.

	(DV) Samuel: "The Case Against Israel" and "Munich"
		Zionism was a movement which advocated, not so much the defense of an ethnic group, as the formation of such a group in Palestine, where those thought to fit a certain semi-racial category were to find refuge.
		Israel is the illegitimate child of ethnic nationalism.
		On the contrary: Israel’s current policies are themselves an insult and a threat to Jews and to Israelis everywhere.

		A second hypothesis for the BSE epizootic was its triggering by the inclusion of carcasses or organs from cattle with undiagnosed TSE in rendered meat and bone meal, and third explanation was the introduction of carcasses of BSE - infected wild animals imported from Africa.
		Cases of BSE have also been diagnosed exclusively in cattle imported from the UK, and not in local/ autochtonic cattle in the following countries: Canada, 1 case (11/93); Falkland Islands, 1 case (1989); Oman, 2 cases (1998).

	US hypocrisy on human rights: The case of Israel
		The US State Department report on Israel is a damning indictment of a nation based upon the brutal and institutionalized suppression of large groups of ethnic and religious minorities where basic democratic rights are violated on a daily basis.
		Israel has consistently violated international laws governing the sovereignty of independent states and illegally occupies territory which used to form parts of four other nations.
		Israel was itself created as an independent state only through the expulsion of the bulk of the Arab population of the former British mandate of Palestine.

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Case for Israel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Dershowitz’s The Case for Israel is composed as a semi-legal defence of the Jewish state.
		Since many of the questions are historical in tone, A Case for Israel is not only a defence of Israel’s right to exist and to implement measures necessary to its security, but a history of the state as well, albeit a choppy one.
		He concludes that criticism of Israel is both necessary and welcome, but that there is a line to be drawn between legitimate and illegitimate criticism (he distinguishes between the two at some length) and proponents of the latter are indeed anti-Semites, whether they think of themselves as such or not.

		Started by Case Law School students, Case For Israel (playing off the title of Alan Dershowitz's book The Case for Israel) has become a force on campus, growing to 15 active members and adding undergraduates and non-Jews to their ranks.
		Case has not seen major conflict over Israel since 2001, when an appearance by right-wing speaker and director of the Middle East Forum Daniel Pipes prompted widespread protest from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
		The Case campus is not particularly activist or left-wing, says Cohen, but in the law school there are some faculty who are "very critical of Israel." It's only natural that the law students use their legal training and argumentative skills to present a counter-argument.

		People unfamiliar with, say, the redrawing of the European map from the late 19th century to the present (owing to population shifts and war) believe with a passion usually reserved for revealed religion that the 1948 ceasefire line is the result of a settled agreement.
		The European attitude is one of hostility to Israel and renewed hatred of the Jews.
		In spite of these realities, Israel rightly intends to root out the masterminds of terror, to remove Arafat from his rancid "leadership" of the Palestinians, and to return, if need be — possibly repeatedly — to areas where Arabs live in Judea and Samaria until the violence ceases.

	‘The Case for Israel’ - TODAY: Books - MSNBC.com
		I show that Israel has long been willing to accept the kind of two-state solution that is now on the proposed “road map” to peace, and that it was the Arab leadership that persistently refused to accept any Jewish state — no matter how small — in those areas of Palestine with a Jewish majority.
		I begin the case for Israel by briefly reviewing the history of the Arab-Muslim-Jewish and then the Arab-Palestinian-Muslim-Israeli conflict, emphasizing the refusal of Palestinian leaders to accept a two-state (or two-homeland) solution in 1917, 1937, 1948, and 2000.
		So long as Israel stands singularly and falsely accused of being the worst offender, the first obligation of those committed to truth and fairness is to disprove those accusations — firmly and unequivocally.

		The bribery case centres on payments of hundreds of thousands of dollars that an Israeli land developer was said to have made to Sharon’s son Gilad, hired in the late 1990s as an adviser on a never-completed project to build a Greek resort.
		If the disengagement plan is carried out, it would mark the first time Israel has removed settlements built in the West Bank and Gaza, which were occupied in the 1967 Middle East war.
		Israel plans to pay an average of $300,000 per family in compensation to settlers who leave voluntarily, government officials said on Friday.

		One diplomat close to the case said the EU believed that legal action “would not help the efforts of the two parties” to find a peaceful solution to the current crisis over the building of a security fence on the disputed West Bank.
		While Israel insists that it aims to block Palestinian suicide bombers, the Palestinians believe the structure is a way of grabbing their land before a final settlement is made.
		The court is to begin hearings on the case on February 23 and while its ruling would not be legally-binding, it could be the cause of political embarrassment to Israel.

	Think-Israel
		The main urban areas of Israel would be within rocket range of the new "Palestinian state" unless, of course, we make this state totally demilitarized.
		There is no parallel in history where military aggression has been rewarded with the full restitution of territories lost, let alone with the creation of a new state conferred to the very people who launched the hostilities.
		In that case, the need for compromise is the only approach capable of settling the dispute.

		I, finally, rest my case with a statement I copied from the Harvard study, “Israel Lobby,” attributed to the Jewish State founding father and its first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, who told the president of the World Jewish Congress, Nahum Goldmann: “If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel.

	Swans Commentary: Michael Neumann's "The Case Against Israel," by Gilles d'Aymery - ga201
		The argumentation is by and large a refutation of Dershowitz's case though it is not a point-by-point rebuttal of the 32 questions Dershowitz attempted (poorly) to answer.
		The opprobrium Israel faces in the entire world, with the lonely exception of the United States, to which one could add the Marshall Islands and Micronesia, can only be traced to the implacable continuation of these policies.
		Perhaps he could have covered the importance of the West Bank aquifers in Israel's decision to hold tight to the Occupied Territories and colonize them; but I suspect he would dismiss this point as yet another irrelevancy that besieges this sorry state of affairs...and, darn, he would be correct.

	ei: The Case for Israel, a Critical Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Case for Israel (John Wiley and Sons, August 2003; paperback August 2004, $12.95) by Harvard Law School Felix Frankfurter Professor Alan M. Dershowitz has received high praise from virtually the entire American press and at least one Israeli and two British newspapers; upon its release it quickly became a New York Times Bestseller.
		Chapter twelve of Case is the book's third longest out of thirty-two; it contains forty-four relevant citations (10.5% of the book's total).[2] In it, Dershowitz presents one of his central arguments: the Palestinian refugee problem "was created by a war initiated by the Arabs" (79), and consequently Israel bears no responsibility for it.
		This was the deliberate and premeditated use of powerful military hardware against a civilian population with the pronounced intent of forcing that population to choose between uncertain death and certain exile.

	The Case Against Israel :: AK Press
		The Case Against Israel is a measured but relentless assessment of the long struggle between Israelis and Palestinians.
		It argues that Zionism was responsible for the conflict, and that Israel is responsible for its perpetuation.
		Had they been content with that, peace might have followed the 1967 war, when Israel could have backed the creation of a Palestinian state in the occupied territories.
