Description

This book offers a unique perspective on the State of Israel based on classical liberalism, both on a historical and theoretical level. Specifically, it makes a classical liberal and libertarian analysis based upon homesteading and private property rights to defend the State of Israel.
As such, this work explores the history of the Jewish State, both to provide a positive case for its right to exist, and to clarify the myths surrounding its origin and development. At the same time, it deals with other relevant related subjects, such as the complex situation between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, the military campaigns against the Jewish State, the connection between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, and Israel's economic miracle.
The thorough analysis presented in this work intends to show not only why the voices and movements against Israel are wrong (including the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, BDS), but more importantly, why Israel is an example of human flourishing and freedom that every advocate for liberty should celebrate.
The Classical Liberal Case for Israel
makes the practical and moral case for Israel. It is based on truths and facts that need to be repeated over and over.
Block & Futerman understand that the only way to defeat a big lie is with a big truth.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Jerusalem, Israel
Classical Liberalism, often associated with the spread West from Northern Europe in creating free nations, is argued here as applying to Israel, with ancient roots in the principles of human freedom.

Reviews / Votes
"Walter Block and Alan Futerman's book is a valuable introduction to the problems between the Israelis and the Palestinians, especially when presented with more liberal or pro-Palestinian treatments. I appreciate the quantitative rigor with which the authors backed up their claims. This book helped me delve into previously unexplored areas. I am grateful. It should be required reading for college students worldwide, especially the professors and administrators." (Milton, The Times of Israel, timesofisrael.com, November 29, 2023)More details
