The Case For Israel: Democracy’s Outpost
Led by famed attorney Alan Dershowitz, The Case for Israel is a point-by-point defense of the Jewish state. Utilizing archival footage and compelling interviews with top experts, the film presents a stirring rebuttal to growing criticism from the media, academic and international communities. In particular, Dershowitz challenges former President Jimmy Carter and his provocative book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, which was criticized for characterizing Israeli policy in the territories as apartheid.
The experts include Prime Minister Netanyahu, former Price Ministers Barak and Peres; Middle East envoy Dennis Ross and former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky.
