Praise For Gil Troy's WHY I AM A ZIONIST
"Gil Troy's Why I Am a
Zionist is not a confession of faith. It is an
intellectual argument from history. He has a keen
understanding about the Jewish present and the
predicament of the Jewish future. Zionism has been
neither fashion nor fad. It certainly is not now. But,
without the Zionist imperative, the Jews as a nation
would have been deep into the path of oblivion. Not in
decades has there been a more persuasive presentation of
the case. It is a book for Jews as well as Christians. It
is a book for our time." --
Martin Peretz, Editor-in-Chief and Chairman, The New
Republic
Gil Troy
has written an inspiring Zionist manifesto for our time.
This book simmers and crackles with wisdom, wit and
passion. Combining insightful historical background with
cogent, contemporary diagnosis, it is vital reading for
anyone interested in the Jewish condition. (If you don't
care about the Jewish condition, you will - after you
read this book!)" --
Rabbi Irving
Greenberg, President, Jewish Life Network and author, "The
Jewish Way"
"Bravo! This is just what we
needed. What a marvelous and timely book. The historical
sections and the contemporary analysis of this short,
punchy, readable book make it a must-read for young and
old alike." --
Marlene Post, Past National President Hadassah and Chair,
Birthright Israel North America
"During the last decade,
Israel and the Jewish people have been buffeted by heated
debates over the state of Zionism as an ideology and as a
movement. Post-Zionists from the left and overzealous new
Zionists from the right have each overstated their cases.
This drift has been furthered by a sense of malaise
concerning the Jewish condition in the Diaspora,
particularly in North America. Against this backdrop, Gil
Troy's book is a fresh, original and innovative
restatement of a better-day’s Zionist manifesto. It
is essential reading for all Israeli and Diaspora
Jews." -- Professor
Itamar Rabinovitch, President, Tel Aviv University and
former Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
"Professor Gil Troy was a
student of mine. His quest for Truth remains strong, as
does his commitment to Truth. This comes through in this
book." -- Elie Wiesel,
Winner, Nobel Peace Prize, 1986
