His book presents both the need for safety and security for Jews and calls Israelis to account for certai n actions taken.\n\nNote: In selecting this book Ari Shavit’s\, My Promi sed Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Zionism\, we are aware of the author ’s disturbing history of sexual misconduct for which he was forced to le ave his position as a columnist for Ha’aretz\, Israel’s leading newspa per. This book remains\, in our estimation\, the single best work for the general reader explaining the multiple complexities of Israel today. In re commending it\, we have chosen to separate the artist from the art.
