Israel; A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth

[Amy]

This book is a master class with personality!!!! It's a must read, whether you think you understand or not. Noa Tishby, an Israel-American actress and producer, takes us through the story and the facts of Israel. With history, humor, storytelling, and historical/political understanding. I think this book is what the world needs. If only we could persuade people to pick it up. Especially those, who think they know the truth, and who are willfully unwittingly part of the problem.

Plus, she has personality. She tells it with humor, wit, style, and an appealing sense of simplicity. I had it on my TBR, these books always land there. But after these vicious attacks of terrorism, and the resulting increase in anti-semitism, here and all over the world, I see that we are not on the same page. Tishby's explanations and ownership and personal experience is just what the world needs.

I was roaming about in Hummingbird Books, and I saw it was the last one on the table. I felt like it was meant for me to buy, and I was happy they were selling out. I want this one to go to someone who needs to read it. Who can understand things in a new way. I think I might send it to a political blogger that I love, but who I suspect might learn a thing or two. Any other thoughts about how I might promote it? Are other people picking this up? They sure should.

I have seen this book a lot on my social media feeds lately. I am glad it lives up to the hype.
