Learn moreThere was a time when Israel could do no wrong in America’s eyes. That time is long past, and justly so—no nation is absolutely perfect, particularly not one who is engaged in a conflict as long as the Arab-Israeli conflict. But the myth of the perfect Israel has been supplanted by a far more deleterious myth: the myth of the evil Israel. This new myth has so pervaded contemporary culture that the history of Israel—as well documented as it is—has been recast and retold to fit a false narrative of Israel as violent occupier.
David Brog is the director of Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Before CUFI, he worked in the United States Senate for seven years, serving as chief of staff to Senator Arlen Specter and staff director of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He also has practiced corporate law in Tel Aviv, Israel and Philadelphia. He is the author of Standing with Israel: Why Christians Support the Jewish State and In Defense of Faith: The Judeo-Christian Idea and the Struggle for Humanity. In 2007, the Forward newspaper listed Brog in its “Forward 50” most influential Jews in America. He is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.

He has been a presenter at several webinars and seminars for the Audiobook Publishing Association and SAG-AFTRA.
Reviews
“David Brog is a friend of mine and of Israel, because he is a friend of the truth. He does his homework and lets the chips fall where they may. He’s written a history of the State of Israel that tells Israel’s inspirational story while thoroughly debunking the most widespread anti-Israel myths. If you are a friend of the truth as well, Reclaiming Israel’s History is required reading to effectively defend and stand with Israel. The truth shall set you free.”
“This is not the first excellent book on the Middle East conflict. But when listeners to my radio show ask me for one book to read in order to understand the Middle East conflict and Israel’s history, this is the book I will recommend. Very few people combine the knowledge, the insight, and the ability to write clearly—for both novice and academic—as does David Brog. I believe that if just a small percentage of Western university students and of the world’s Muslims read this book, Israel-hatred will begin to abate, and peace in the Middle East will nally be possible. That is how good it is.”
