Editorial Reviews

A highly recommended reading for all who seek the facts about the internal struggles in Zionism.

Shlomo Benderly

Ya'acov Liberman has used his personal knowledge of Israel's political scene to write a most interesting book on the 80-year disagreement between the two main schools of thought in Israel today, Likud and Labor. The difference in outlook over the years has led to bitter strife and rarely to cooperation. [In Tears of Zion] Liberman…show[s] his skill as an archivist, researcher, and writer…[and] provides deep insight into [Israel's current] political situation.

Harry Hurwitz

A must read for anyone interested in a comprehensive view of the political situation in Israel. At long last, a clear picture of the political views of those on the Right in Israel.

Rabbi Marvin Tokayer

Ya'acov Liberman has been both a participant and an observer of Israel's turbulent politics. …His book, Tears of Zion is both a condemnation of Israel's Left and a plea for Jewish unity. Readers of liberal persuasion, such as myself, will bridle at many things Liberman has to say, yet in the end, will respect him for his sincerity, scholarship, and commitment to the Jewish People.
