Publisher's summary

In War Against the Jews: How to End Hamas Barbarism, Alan Dershowitz—#1 New York Times bestselling author and one of America’s most respected legal scholars—explains why the horrific attack of Oct 7 and Israel’s just response changes everything.

It has changed the relationship between Israel and the United States, especially with regard to the possibility of direct American intervention.

It has required Israel to consider its nuclear option as a last resort to assure its survival.

It has revealed dangerous attitudes among America’s future leaders on today’s college campuses toward Israel’s possible destruction.

It has exposed media biases that have been exacerbated with Israel’s vulnerabilities.

It has united Israelis and Jews around the world as never before, despite the deep divisions among them politically, religiously, and ideologically. Nothing will ever be the same.

It has clouded the future of peace between Israel and its Arab and Muslim neighbors and has diminished the proposals for a peaceful resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

It has made predictions about the future of the region nearly impossible, except that imposing instability is inevitable.

In this short book, Dershowitz analyzes these transforming events and suggests how to move forward.

Critic reviews

“As always, Prof. Alan Dershowitz presents a compelling case in defense of the State of Israel and voices the truth about the atrocities which were carried out by Hamas.”

—Isaac Herzog, President of Israel

“As always, when Israel needs to be defended . . . Alan Dershowitz speaks with great passion and personal courage.”

—Elie Wiesel

“Dershowitz . . . knows how to construct an argument. Especially effective in pointing out the hypocrisy of many of Israel’s critics.”

—New York Times Book Review

A must read book

A must read book to understand to history, the real truth. Thank you for this valuable information

Excellent Content; Narrator needs work

Dershowitz and I don't always agree, but in this case I think he makes the best case for Israel's need to defeat Hamas. Dershowitz works with facts and not myth. Narrator, on the other hand, needs to learn to pronounce words that should be learned before reading a book about Israel and the Jews, especially when there are Hebrew words so often used in English that they are part of the lexicon - no real excuse for not knowing them.

Excellent Analysis

I have been recommending: “The War Against the Jews” to several of my friends, who have expressed resistance based upon their negative feelings towards Alan Dershowitz, arising out of his perceived support for Donald Trump.
The War Against the Jews is a brilliant exposition and analysis that has dramatically impacted, and informed my perspective. I consider it a valuable contribution, which should be widely read.
Alan Dershowitz does not try to please everyone. I have had the privilege of spending some time with him, having interviewed him before an audience at Harvard Law School, and driven him to Cape Cod from Boston. Personally, he is as subjective, and flawed as any of us.
You can like him, or dislike him, for his positions, and beliefs, as many of his friends have reportedly done. What you should not do is conflate your perception of his personal flaws with the brilliance of his work. No one cares about the personality of Jonas Salk, or Picasso’s politics. Dershowitz‘s writings, his books, his brilliant analysis, constitute an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the times in which we live.
His uncompromising commitment to intellectual honesty may offend some sensibilities. That commitment, however, means that the reader gets the benefit of the very best that this gifted intellect can provide.
His work is important, his voice is clear, and well reasoned. He provides insight into vital issues, clarifies the obscure; and dispels falsity, prejudice, and bigotry.

Dislike him, if you will. Don’t play cards with him, or take him to lunch. That, however, does not diminish the quality of his work which is vital to an objective understanding of the world in which we live.

This book is significant. It is highly readable, it is easily understood, and it will dramatically enhance your comprehension of the important issues of our time.

Beautiful story of the war against the Jews.

Everything is well said, and a told that will open one eyes to the forever about truth..

Excellent information and perspective

The author prioritizes telling the truth and has a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

Excellent response to Hamas terror.

Professor Dershowitz, as usual, presents facts from a centrist, pro-American, pro-Israel perspective, avoiding dangerous extremist viewpoints, condemning them from whereever they originate, be they pro-Palestinian or pro-Jewish.

He articulates the horror and the hopelessness many of us have felt since October 7th. This is an important read for any American, but especially for us, American Jews as we struggle to respond to rabid antisemitism that has griped many western countries including the United States.

Many of us are struggling to articulate the terror we feel as we have watched US universities become consumed with antisemitism since the pogrom of Simchat Torah on 10/7. As we begin to move toward asking elected officials to take action against what, in many cases such as Harvard, MIT, Columbia and others, is institutionalized anti-Jewish bigotry, it’s important to get a clear idea of who and what is responsible for its spread. It’s not too late but will be difficult to make a course correction now. DEI and other racist policies are definitely going to be open to challenge in courts around the US, as certainly they are unconstitutional.

Thank you Professor Dershowitz for this timely publication.

Puts it all out there

Prof. Dershowitz goes into the history in the creation of Israel the conflicts and responses. He holds nothing back on the double standards and rabid antisemitism at his Harvard Alma mater
