Summary
What is at the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? What does justice demand of us in this conflict? This audiobook clarifies an intimidatingly complex issue - and upends conventional views about America’s stake in it.
In this audiobook, Elan Journo explains the essential nature of the conflict and what has fueled it for so long. What justice demands, he shows, is that we evaluate both adversaries - and America's approach to the conflict - according to a universal moral ideal: individual liberty. From that secular moral framework, the audiobook analyzes the conflict, examines major Palestinian grievances and Israel's character as a nation, and explains what's at stake for everyone who values human life, freedom, and progress.
What Justice Demands shows us why America should be strongly supportive of freedom and freedom-seekers - but in this conflict and across the Middle East, it hasn't been, much to our detriment.

Very interesting information, definitely worth reading/listening to.
Whilst the author obviously has a bias in favour of Israel, the information and point of view is very interesting and most of the arguments seem sound and well-reasoned.
As students at a leftist anti-apartheid university in South Africa in the 1980s we were all anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian and also pro the ANC.
I have been very disillusioned by both the latter groups and my altruistic liberal values have been challenged by Oct 7.
It is reallt valuable, at this time, to read different perspectives and to make up one's own mind based upon factual info rather than media rhetoric.
Thank you for making this book available.

A Must Read
An excellent objective history of the lead up to, beginning and recent history of Israel and how the surrounding countries have acted (and why). Philosophically and morally consistent, it presents the case for supporting Israel but also does not refrain from highlighting specific aspects in which Israel is in the wrong.

A biased and subtly-worded presentation of an American atheistic world view.
This book undermines its authority by its clear preference for left-wing, liberal social and political views. There is an underlying philosophy which the author regards as correct, while any state that deviates from the so-called progressive American way is regarded as backward, medieval and morally wrong.
