I recommend The Siege of Tel Aviv (hereafter Siege), by former journalist Hesh Kestin, a darkly humorous and reality-inspired “what-if” Middle East scenario. The surviving Jewish population of six million (yeah, he goes there) is transported to “Ghetto Tel Aviv,” to languish and starve. I don’t think it was Trump that aroused ire in Siege’s critics. One Twitter scold who read Siege said he found it “indistinguishable from right-wing Israeli propaganda.” The pitchforks multiplied. Many from publisher Dzanc Books’ own stable of authors turned on them, one even withdrawing his own book in protest.
