Product Description
This book is intended to serve as a serious review of the dangers of the Land for Peace culture which has taken over the way people of the world, as well as Israeli governments in early and even modern times perceived possible solutions to achieving lasting peace or stability in the Middle East. This abbreviated walk through the pages of history will show how, at each juncture of a diplomatic round, the Jews were always the ones who had to concede and once again relinquish portions of their historic and beloved land. It outlines the results of one hundred years of concessions which became the foundation, or even the cause, for the next war. It is time to question the compromises which were made, excercises which sadly became the starting point and the baseline, for any diplomatic dialogue. Too many serious people are searching for a solution. As long as they believe, or pretend to believe, that Land for Peace is the answer, peace will remain remote, and political correctness will continue to pose great dangers for Israel.

Editorial Reviews
Land For Peace...is a brilliant journey through the Middle East and the fundamentals of the Israeli-Arab conflict. It portrays the history of the intense struggle of Israel for independence, Peace and security, while giving a concise message for the future, built on the mistakes of the past. Written by an Israeli native, this is a unique and well written document which combines history and a current perspective of the conflict. --Lt.Gen Paul G. Cerjan (US Army, Retired)
Land For Peace: A Century of Failure clearly demonstrates why western world s policies vis-a-vis Israel need an urgent and thorough review. The book lends clarity to the awfully distorted, confusing and convoluted Mideast conflict a tremendous tool for Israel supporters and a wonderful tutorial for people who wish to know more about Israel s complex struggles. --Rabbi Ofer Unger, Shalabim Yeshiva, Israel
About the Author
Raanan (Rani) Levy is a born and raised Israeli. As a Patriot who wrote dozens of articles and has been speaking for over 20 years on Middle Eastern and World Jewish Affairs, Levy served in the IDF and has served as an advisor to Israel s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. He resides in Israel and, with some friends, co-chairs the Israel-La ad foundation, which assists at-risk Israeli youth and elderly people across the country.
Word From the Author
The strategy of reciting a lie often enough that it becomes “The Truth,” has proven to be effective. Millions of people worldwide are convinced that the Jews came to Palestine only to throw out and exile a poor and miserable Palestinian Arab population. Others, including many of Israel’s closest friends and allies, have been convinced that the Israeli–Arab conflict is a “territorial” issue, which can only be resolved by territorial compromises. Compromises only required of Israel, of course!
This book is intended to serve as a quick reference and provide insight into another tragedy of the Jewish people. This abbreviated walk through the pages of history will show how, at each juncture of a diplomatic “round,” the Jews were always the ones who had to concede and once again relinquish portions of their historic and beloved land. Today, the Jewish State of Israel, of which Jews dreamed and to which they struggled to return for over 2000 years, is only a fraction of what it once was, due to the constant aggression of its neighbors and to repeated international “mediations” which consistently downsized Israel.
This document will show how even the Jewish leadership in earlier days, as well as Israeli governments in modern times, have been lured into believing that “Land for Peace” would be a more effective way to achieve peace or stability in our troubled region. Whenever “Land for Peace” was applied, it became the foundation, or even the cause, for the next war. In today’s world, this syndrome continues. The Arab world has developed and perfected the art of how to maintain a fine combination of diplomacy, propaganda and terror. We see countries that act like terror groups—particularly Iran and Syria, and terror groups who claim to be a country in the making, such as Fatah, Hamas and Hezbollah—using this strategy.
We are long overdue for a serious and honest review of the dangers of the “Land for Peace” culture, which has taken over the way people perceive possible solutions to the Middle East problem. It is time to question the results of repeated “Land for Peace” concessions which were made, particularly over the past hundred years, exercises which sadly became the starting point, the baseline, for any diplomatic dialogue.
The Jews in the Land of Israel have repeatedly been brutalized by their neighbors, even before Islam or Arabism existed. Each empire visiting the region has had its turn in crushing Jewish life, destroying Jewish Temples and forcing Jews into exile to all corners of the earth. In modern times, we see Muslims and Arabs worldwide find only one thing that really unifies them—their hatred of Israel.
Too many serious people are searching for a solution. As long as they believe, or pretend to believe, that “Land for Peace” is the answer, peace will remain remote, and political “correctness” will continue to pose great dangers for Israel.
