Pogrund examines the accusation that Israel is practicing apartheid and the motives of those who make it. A belief in Israel, combined with frank criticism, provides a balanced view of Israel's strengths and problems. It deconstructs the criticisms of Israel and the boycott movement before arguing for two states as the only way forward.
