Although an anti-Zionist who puts the Israel/Palestine issue at the core of the book, Neslen lets the characters speak for themselves and provides a minimal running commentary.

He has managed to gain access to some otherwise reluctant interviewees: including Larissa Trimbobler, wife of Yigal Amir, who in 1995 assassinated the then prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin; and Hanan Porat, a settler leader and (at the time he was interviewed) member of the Knesset's foreign affairs and security committee. Neslen succeeds in getting Porat to admit that Israel holds nuclear weapons: this may seem like common knowledge, but officially Israel still adheres to its policy of vagueness on the matter.

The most interesting interviews, however, are those that are most unexpected. Liad Kantorowich, a Tel Aviv sex worker, provides a fascinating socio-political analysis of the sexual preferences of her clients. A devoted supporter of the notorious Beitar Jerusalem Football Club tells how she secretly reports the racist behaviour of her fellow fans to human rights organisations. Alona Abt, who was the prospective presenter of an Israeli-Palestinian version of Sesame Street, engages Neslen in a bitter-sweet discussion about multicultural Muppets.

Despite the rigour with which Neslen carries out his interviews, his book is highly political. Through his choice of interviewees, he encourages the reader to share his views, which are extremely critical of Zionism.
