"This is a fascinating book. It documents confrontations between people who did not always know what they wanted – but always knew that they did not want what others wanted. Thus, from one issue to the next, from one argument to the next, the basic values of Israeli society were cemented and Iraeli-ness was born. One can understand the Americans in "Go and Follow the Money"; the French in "Cherchez la Femme". "Misgivings about Israeli identity could not have been better reconstructed than they were in Avi Katzman's commentary: Go and Follow the Newspapers."
