Catch the Jew! is an illuminatingand alarmingaccount of a part of
the promised land that few foreigners see offers one of the more
interesting portraits of Palestinian politics to have appeared in
English the current Palestinian leadership appears fairly shrewd
(though apparently not shrewd enough to perform background checks
on visitors), nepotistic, obsessed with theatrical PR productions
of alleged Israeli crimes, but also surprisingly satisfied with the
status quo That said, no reader of Catch the Jew! can come away
having failed to learn many new things about Israelis and
Palestinians, two peoples we talk about so much but understand so
little. Wall Street Journal April 2015
Catch The Jew!, a daring and hilariously written account of the
foreign-backed (and often foreign-staffed) media and peace industry
in Israel. Each of the 55 short chapters is a portal to an aspect
of Israeli and Arab life and some offense dreamed up by the peace
industry. He observes how Israels left-wing intellectuals profess
to be experts on the settlers they despise and the Palestinians
they adore while showing negligible real knowledge about either. He
shows how the Oslo Accords did significant damage to JewishArab
relations on a local level. Of particular interest to Tenenbom is
the European connection. The extent to which so many anti-Israel
NGOs (foreign and domestic); hostile films, cultural events, and
institutions; and Arab housing, educational facilities, and
academic conferences are all funded by European governments is
staggering. Jonathon Newman, Commentary Magazine 2015
