In *Israel Alone*, author David Rosenberg examines fifty years of personal experience with Israel, offering an in-depth analysis of the global response to the events of October 7, the resurgence of anti-Semitism—the world's oldest hatred—and why Israel is fighting this existential war against barbarism largely on its own.<br><br>Rosenberg’s work is a powerful and emotional reflection on Israel's isolation and the tragedy of October 7, beginning with his eyewitness account the day after the devastating attacks.<br><br>On October 8, 2023, Rosenberg traveled to Israel to witness the unprecedented invasion and massacre carried out by Hamas. *Israel Alone* opens with this event and traces his fifty years of involvement with the country, beginning with his first visit in 1967. Over the decades, Rosenberg has reported on numerous conflicts, engaged in peace efforts, and formed connections with Israeli leaders such as Menachem Begin, Shimon Peres, Ariel Sharon, Yitzhak Shamir, and Yitzhak Rabin.<br><br>From a philosophical and humanist viewpoint, Rosenberg explores the ultimate evil Israel faced on October 7 and investigates how global players—including Iran, Russia, radical Islamist groups, Turkey, and China—have exploited this tragedy.<br><br>The book also delves into how this event, despite its historic significance, quickly faded into the backdrop of global consciousness as a new wave of anti-Semitism, disguised as anti-Zionism, surged worldwide.<br><br>Rosenberg critically examines the calls for an immediate “cease-fire” without the release of hostages and questions the arguments suggesting that the October 7 attacks should be considered within a broader “context.”<br><br>His reflections on Zionism and Israel’s soul reveal why this conflict is not just crucial for Israel but for the entire Western world. Despite the gravity of the situation, Rosenberg illustrates how Israel faces this battle largely in isolation.<br><br>He analyzes the reasons behind Israel's increasing solitude and why, today, it stands more alone than ever before.
