The Case for Israel is a 2003 book (ISBN 0-471-46502-X) by Alan Dershowitz, a law professor at Harvard University. The Case for Israel attempts to refute common criticisms of Israel, and defends Israel as an example of a successful Western democracy coping with the challenges of Islamic Terrorism.

In opposition to the book, Norman Finkelstein, author of The Holocaust Industry, claims the book is a hoax and that some of its citations are largely plagiarized from the book From Time Immemorial. (See Dershowitz-Finkelstein affair.) Finkelstein spends half of his book Beyond Chutzpah responding in detail to Dershowitz's claims with documentation from human rights groups.
