Suffice to say, My Israel Question provokes a wide variety of opinions (some of which, including the latest review, seem to misunderstand the concepts of power, victimhood and occupation.)

Well, that is an interesting review.
Pataki is certainly right that your book is flawed. But it’s flawed in the same sense that every book is – none are perfect.
It was intersting that Pataki posed as a criticism that ‘MIQ’ did not give an accounting of Palestinian “atrocities”. That seems to very seriously miss the whole point. It’s a critique reminiscent of those organised media campaigns that make charges of anti-Israel media bias, based on a lack of what they call ‘balance’. Balance being some golden mean where both sides are criticised in equal amounts, whatever the circumstances.
It seems a little unfair to citicise a book for not doing things that it never set out to do. Perhaps Pataki is suggesting that it should be longer in some future edition?
