IN SUM: Mr Lochery's submissions allow us to understand the circumstances around the conflict in ways that are not usually heard or read in today's media.

THE Israeli-Arab conflict has spawned so much discussion in the information age, that it has become difficult to sift through the truths. Neil Lochery's Why Blame Israel? (Totem Books, 2005) offers an alternative interpretation, and it succeeds.

Mr Lochery's well-researched submissions allow us to understand the circumstances around the conflict in ways that are not usually heard or read in today's media.  The polemics are easy to grasp, but this is not an easy reader: several times, I had to go to Google and Wikipedia to have a background check on people, places, and events.

I strongly recommend the book, and suggest that the reader dedicate time, effort, and an open mind in reading it.
