Summary

Very prominent among the world's disputes is the question of Israel's right to exist as a nation, and the highly volatile debate over control of the land currently known as the country of Israel. Dr. Grobman, a respected historian and orthodox Jewish Rabbi, has taken on this issue with a very methodical and extremely well-supported presentation of the debate. Contrary to the impression by the title, though, his well-documented history of the conflict clearly lays out Israel's right to the land.
