(יעל ישראל , שערכה את הספר "ארץ, ברית" היא סופרת, עורכת ומבקרת.)

Dear Ofra,
A couple of days ago I finished reading your book. I have to tell you that I was really truly impressed and even overwhelmed with it. It is such a brave statement and gives such an incisive and logical picture!
I found myself learning an awful lot. It is odd that we both grew up at the same time more or less, in the same country, and yet your perspectives and depth of understanding of the social issues in the country is so much deeper and insightful.
Having been in and around Journalism for such a big part of your life clearly sharpened your eyes ears and story telling skills. I can't tell you how impressed I am really.
It is so disheartening to come to a clearer understanding of how screwed up the situation in Israel really is, and yet also understanding so well the resistance to allowing Jews to become just another minority in Israel. For those who experienced it in Europe it may be an unbearable thought.
I guess one can argue both sides with equal passion.

What were the reactions like? It should be a best seller and a hot topic of discussion. Maybe this can create a grass route movement that will lead to change.

Ofra, I don't know if my written words can express fully the great pleasure I get through out reading your book. I enjoy the way you layer the subject matters, your sharp analytic power, your brilliant writing, your humour and your guts.[…]
