Rita J. Simon from American University gave it a mixed review. The book, she says, is the most comprehensive and the most virulent of a set of books she reviewed; while she says "Finkelstein's arguments...are usually documented with data and scholarly arguments" and "is more than an emotional diatribe against Israel" she criticized it for letting the reader to believe that "Israelis are the Nazis of the 21st century", a notion that destroys "the scholarly integrity of their work".[4]
