Tenenboms latest book demonstrates why a concerted effort should be
made to encourage American Jews to emigrate to Israel. - Asaf
Shimoni, The Times of Israel
Tenenbom had a grim story to share about anti-Semitism in the
United States. He told it in a most entertaining way. - Robert
Isler, Jewish Link of New Jersey
A unique, funny and disarming man gets to the parts of America that
Obama seems not to have noticed, even those populated by
African-Americans. The Lies They Tell, is about America. Yes, about
We, the People. What he found was eye-opening - Prof. Phyllis
Chesler, Arutz 7
The entire book is worth a read, not only for those who are still
wondering how the real estate mogul and reality star became
president, but for those who wonder, like Tenenbom, what a person
might learn from chatting with the locals in 39 places around
America. - Lindsey Ellefson, MEDIAite
Israeli-German journalist Tenenbom (Catch the Jew!) employs his
not-so-subtle sarcasm to expose the hypocrisy, contradictions, and
delusions of average Americans. Following his assessment of
Europeans in his previous books, he now endeavors to meet as many
people as possible and portray the character [of America] and its
people. He begins his journey in June 2015, the day of the
Charleston, S.C., church shooting, and ends after the San
Bernardino, Calif., shooting in December 2015. He encounters
propaganda and denial, and exposes political corruption in Chicago,
gun culture, megachurches, anti-Semitism, polarizing opinions on
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, vanishing Native American
culture, proud rednecks intimidating African-Americans and Muslims,
and climate-change deniers denigrating intellectuals. He reveals
the hypocrisy of a nation where international aid organizations are
well funded and $30 million is raised for a Catholic shrine in
Wisconsin, yet devastated neighborhoods in Detroit and Chicago get
nothing. His outlook may be bleak, but its hard not to share his
incredulity at the levels of laughable self-delusion. For instance,
a guide at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit disavows Fords
anti-Semitism, saying, Here we talk only about positive stuff, not
about problems. Brutal, irreverent, and cutting, Tenenboms riveting
book aims to disrupt American complacency. For those willing to
look at America from an outsiders perspective, Tenenbom is a
sobering guide. - Publisher's Weekly STAR Review, Jan 2017
