In Israel's Dead Soul, Steven Salaita skillfully examines the many lamentations over the state of Israel's soul, exploring what these lamentations reveal about the integrity of intellectual debates about the Israel-Palestine conflict... [It] is an important and original contribution to the existing literature on intellectual debates about the U.S.-Israel-Palestine conflict. Journal of Palestine Studies, Summer 2012

Israel's Dead Soul is a densely-packed, sometimes knotty little book, that well repays reading and rereading. Salaita provides us with well-honed tools for diagnosing the errors of organizations and embedded pundits alike, as well as the weapons for combating them. -Electronic Intifada As unsparing of the liberal multiculturalist embrace of Zionism as it is of the right-wing defense of Israeli violence, Salaita's stinging critique demonstrates how both deploy a demonization of Palestinians that normatizes Zionism and absolves it of its colonial violence. Israel's Dead Soul is a must read for scholars of the Middle East, anti-racist activists and all those who care about social justice. -Sunera Thobani, Associate Professor, Centre for Women's and Gender Studies, University of British Columbia
