Led by famed attorney Alan Dershowitz, The Case for Israel: Democracy's Outpost is a point-by-point defense of the Jewish State. Utilizing archival footage and compelling interviews with top experts, the film presents a stirring rebuttal to growing criticism from the media, and academic and international communities. In particular, Dershowitz challenges former President Jimmy Carter and his provocative book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, which drew fire for characterizing Israeli policy in the territories as an apartheid system. Nearly thirty commentators lend their points of view, including: former Israeli Prime Ministers Barak, Netanyahu and Peres; Middle East envoy Dennis Ross, and Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky.
