Cramer, Richard Ben, How Israel lost: The Four Questions, Simon&Schuster, 2005.

Richard Ben Cramer, winner of the Pulitzer prize for Middle East coverage, analyses the four questions that have bedeviled Israel and palestine for over four decades:

I. Why do we care about Israel?

II. Why Don't the Palestinians have a state?

III. What is it a Jewish state?

IV. Why is there no peace?

Cramer illustrates how Israel is losing her soul by maintaining her occupation of the lands conquered in the Six Days war. Israel has become a victim of that occupation no less than the Palestinians., who must have a nation of their own.
