His book presents both the need for safety and security for J ews and calls Israelis to account for certain actions taken.\n\nNote: In s electing this book Ari Shavit’s\, My Promised Land: The Triumph and Trag edy of Zionism\, we are aware of the author’s disturbing history of sexu al misconduct for which he was forced to leave his position as a columnist for Ha’aretz\, Israel’s leading newspaper. This book remains\, in our estimation\, the single best work for the general reader explaining the m ultiple complexities of Israel today. In recommending it\, we have chosen to separate the artist from the art.
