this was a really informative book and helped me better grasp the concept of antisemitism and how it still strongly prevails in our society. the parts about zionism versus anti-zionism and the current war between Israel and Palestine was definitely something I needed to desperately learn more about, and it's good to hear it from the perspective of someone who considers themself a staunch zionist (to know what the other side thinks, as I am not a zionist personally) even though there were some things I disagreed with, or wished there was further elaboration on.
edit thinking about it more, this book is good for understanding a little more on antisemitism, but i would not advise reading this if you are looking for information on the israeli-palestinian conflict. especially considering tishby fails to go into detail on the things done to the palestinian people, while explaining she is pro-palestine. like girly please show that, you are reading as very insensitive to the other side of the conflict! also acho really does not dive deeper or ask way more questions and really investigate tishby's words as much as i would have liked. it was still interesting to read, but not enough! not enough!
