Ben ShapiroA must read
Mark DubowitzGreat choice. noatishby will be a superb envoy for combating antisemitism and the delegitimization of Israel. Her book, “Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth,” is one of the best out there on the topic
Yossi Klein HaleviWith passion, humor and deep intimacy, Noa Tishby reveals the real Israel that continually eludes even many so-called experts. Refreshingly straightforward, Tishby manages to be “simple” but not simplistic. She knows that real love requires honesty, and so she confronts Israel in its sometimes maddening complexity
