Right to Exist

Historian Yaacov Lozowick recounts his personal journey from liberal peace activist to a reluctant supporter of Ariel Sharon, prompting a comprehensive re-examination of Israel's history. This book explores the origins of the Zionist enterprise and the long struggle to establish and defend the Jewish state amidst Arab resistance and international hostility. Lozowick analyzes Israel's wars using 'just war' theory, scrutinizing its founders and refuting common myths about the conflict. He presents Israel as neither a pristine utopia nor a racist colonial power, offering a moral history.
