Publisher's 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.

Excellent Read
I appreciate the author's dedication to present the issue with fairness backed up by fact. There is far too much emotion and irrationality in today's discourse. I have only one objection .
In the second last section, the author talks about a scholarly work by Piper of which I believe the author fully endorses. I think it's short sighted. I believe it is a grave error to overlook or ignore not including a religious approach. Let's suppose the conjecture described in that section is implemented and Israel is successful. Then what? You will never take religion out of a faithful Muslim, Christian, Hindu, etc. because it defines who they are in ways that I don't feel most secularists would grasp. To ignore religion in this conflict would be like sloppily weeding the garden by yanking only the visible part of the plant and ignoring the root. Religion needs to be a part of the solution.
Cheers!

blew my puny mind
You cannot be a middle grounder for freedom. Why did it take me so long to admit some cultures are worse than others there's? I knew it in my heart but was too afraid to see it
There's a reason all the poorest countries are theocratic and totalitarian. If your government expects you to sacrifice yourself for their cause, they will never respect you as an individual.

truly an amazing read
elan did an amazing job explaining the middleneast culture and how americas interference while well intentioned, didnt help, and does align it with other history as to hiw best solve the current issue that israel faces. he kept it very much focused on culture, and expectations, not so much the policies that were never inforced and didnt work anyways, and why they didnt work. great listen/read for anyone uneducated on israel.
