Israel Seen – Profile of Dr. Einat Wilf

Dr. Einat Wilf has been a consistent spokesperson in the “War of Words” about Israel. Her latest book “Winning the War of Words” Essays on Zionism and Israel is now available for free download at her web site. It is also available on Kindle.

Most of this text has been taken from her web site:

From the United Nations to the media, and from academia to international NGOs, the attacks on Israel’s legitimacy as the nation-state of the Jewish people are growing. To win this war of words, Israel’s defenders must be able to clearly explain the ideas and circumstances that led to the creation of modern Israel and underpin its existence today. In this single-volume collection, Dr. Einat Wilf does just that, presenting her most important essays on the Middle East, Israel, Zionism, and public diplomacy.

Since leaving the Knesset in 2013, Dr. Einat Wilf has traveled the world as a “roving ambassador” for Israel, presenting Israel’s case to Jewish communities, student groups, and parliaments. Read this profile of her work in Atmosphere, El Al’s in-flight magazine.

Here are some of her talks from youtube:

In less than an hour, she provides a framework for understanding what is really going on in Israel, and why.
