The Case for Israel: Democracy's Outpost
A landmark documentary film with Alan Dershowitz
This documentary was produced to present a vigorous case for Israel -- for its basic right to exist, to protect its citizens from terrorism, and to defend its borders from hostile enemies -- in a highly accessible multimedia format. Alan Dershowitz plays a central role in this documentary as adviser and on-camera presence and argues forcefully that real peace in the Middle East can only occur when the Palestinians, Arabs and their allies value the creation of a Palestinian homeland more than they oppose the presence of a Jewish state. Through incisive conversations with key judicial, political and academic leaders, Dershowitz refutes deeply entrenched misperceptions about Israel's history, Jewish claims to a homeland, individual rights under Israel's democratic system of government, the security fence, and military conduct in the face of terrorist attacks.
