Reclaiming Israel's History ─ Roots, Rights, and the Struggle for Peace

There was a time when Israel could do no wrong in America's eyes. That time is long past, and justly so?no nation is absolutely perfect, particularly not one who is engaged in a conflict as long as the Arab-Israeli Conflict. But the myth of the perfect Israel has been supplanted by a far more deleterious myth: the myth of the evil Israel. This new myth has so pervaded contemporary culture that the history of Israel?as well documented as it is?has been recast and retold to fit a false narrative of Israel as violent occupier.

David Brog, director of Christian United for Israel, reminds readers of the actual history of Israel and Palestine in Reclaiming Israel's History: Roots, Rights, and the Struggle for Peace.

David Brog is the director of Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Before CUFI, Brog worked in the United States Senate for seven years, serving as chief of staff to Senator Arlen Specter and staff director of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He also has practiced corporate law in Tel Aviv, Israel and Philadelphia, PA. Brog is the author of Standing with Israel: Why Christians Support the Jewish State (2006) and In Defense of Faith: the Judeo-Christian Idea and the Struggle for Humanity (2010). In 2007, the Forward newspaper listed Brog in its "Forward 50" most influential Jews in America. He is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.
