It’s alarming that this will be some readers first and only introduction to the situation in israel - by his own admission, Coates omits important and undisputed critical episodes in the history, including decades of terror and hostility along Israel’s borders and numerous wars against Israel initiated by Israel’s enemies and neighbors. Instead of an accurate portrait of the existential threats faced by Israel, Coates falls back on inaccurate comparisons to slavery that will only incite hate against Jews at a time when misinformation and antisemitism is at a fever pitch. Reckless at best and antisemitic at worst to present this incomplete and misleading picture of the history and conflict. This would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous given Coates’s large audience.
