Elliot Kramer, a former editor of Dateline: Middle East 
and an M.A. political science graduate of Georgetown University, recently published his book on the Middle East conflict,
 "A TIME FOR TRUTH" (click here). 

A Time for Truth (Montreal, 2001) contains 100+ responses
 to common misconceptions about the Middle East.

In his introduction, Elliot Kramer writes:
"Since September 1993 Israel has been under attack. The war against the Jewish State is being waged against all Jews in the cities and towns of Israel and also in the international media. It is the same anti-Western war that struck the United States on September 11, 2001. It is a war against democracy, freedom and human rights. Any person who believes in these principles needs to know the truth about the conflict and be able to recognize the lies that we are all being fed in the media...."

Jeff Jacoby, Columnist, Boston Globe
"A Time for Truth performs an enormously valuable service. Elliot Kramer has assembled the evidence, demolished the myths and blown away the smoke that is so often used to distort the truth about the Israel-Arab conflict. It is a perfect antidote to propaganda and sloppy reporting."
