Media reviews

“Provides clear arguments for international sanctions against Israel because of its treatment of the Palestinians. This excellent collection of essays is an essential text for anyone interested in why they should support the movement to boycott Israel. The essays are not just good reading; they are also an eloquent call to the world to give a damn.”—Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch

“Punish[es] .. Israel with regards to its policies towards Palestinians.”—Book News
