![In the book, Manji says that an Arab failure to accept the Jews' historical bond with Palestine is a mistake. Manji writes that the Jews' historical roots stretch back to the land of Israel, and that they have a right to a Jewish state. She further argues that the allegation of apartheid in Israel is deeply misleading, noting that there are in Israel several Arab political parties; that Arab-Muslim legislators have veto powers; and that Arab parties have overturned disqualifications. She also writes that Israel has a free Arab press; that road signs bear Arabic translations; and that Arabs live and study alongside Jews.[3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5udoh2yruu6u2njprrhkkr3y/bafkreicgk3w7nuaxocdduueqahskl2lvwyuorcpn5wol55zfvpit7laaaa)

!["[Edward] Glaeser applies this model to anti-American hatred, which, in degree, “is not particularly correlated with places that the United States has helped or done harm to,” he says. “France hates America more than Vietnam does.” Instead, he explains, it has much to do with “political entrepreneurs who spread stories about past and future American crimes. Some place may have a leader who has a working relationship with the United States. Enemies of the leader offer an alternative policy: completely break with the United States and Israel, and attack them. We saw it in the religious enemies of the shah [of Iran]. The ayatollah sought to discredit the secular modernists through the use of anti-American hatred.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5udoh2yruu6u2njprrhkkr3y/bafkreibfksb4jkag4573yruvqiat5k33abfvxyi4iqonj3drl56o5yeubq)
