The Israel Test (0980076358)

Editorial Review:

Israel is the crucial battlefield for Capitalism and Freedom in our time.

George Gilder's global best-seller Wealth and Poverty made the moral case for capitalism. Now Gilder makes the case for Israel, portraying a conflict of barbarism and envy against civilization and creativity.

Gilder reveals Israel as a leader of human civilization, technological progress, and scientific advance. Tiny Israel stands behind only the United States in its contributions to the hi-tech economy. Israel has become the world's paramount example of the blessings of freedom.

Hatred of Israel, like anti-Semitism through history, arises from resentment of Jewish success. Rooted in a Marxist zero-sum-game theory of economics, this vision has fueled the anti-Semitic rantings of Hitler, Arafat, Osama, and history's other notorious haters.

Faced with a contest between murderous regimes sustained by envy and Nazi ideology, and a free, prosperous, and capitalist, IsraelÃ,Â--whose side are you on?

No Audio Version?:

This looks to be a great book. Problem is, not all of us have the time to actually sit down and read it.
Where's the audio version?

Another fine example of American-zionist hostility to the world:

This pile of bunk has been debunked extensively through books by people such as Norman Finklestein inImage and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, New and Revised Edition. Whats interesting is it uses the same argument beloved by dangerous right-wing people that all criticism against it is mere envy. Here is more jealousy of Israel. Those few US marines that survived the Israeli bombing of the USS Liberty are merely bitter about Israel's genious, otherwise they wouldn't grumble about what happened to... more info
