One Jewish State

The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

De: David Friedman

Narrado por: Harvey Wallmann

THE TERRORIST MASSACRE COMMITTED BY HAMAS AGAINST INNOCENT ISRAELIS ON OCTOBER 7, 2023 BROUGHT GREAT TRAUMA TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL. BUT IT ALSO HAS BROUGHT GREAT CLARITY. It is this clarity that tells us we must try something NEW. It is this clarity that tells us Israel must plan its future on its own and not obsess about what others think. And it is this clarity that compels us to go back to basics—to return to the biblical values and divine covenants that unite the Jewish people.

It is this clarity that has inspired David Friedman, former US Ambassador to Israel and bestselling author of SLEDGEHAMMER, to write and lead a new movement. One of the leading architects of the historic Abraham Accords, David Friedman explains why in these turbulent and dangerous times, the simple phrase of three words—ONE JEWISH STATE—must be the guideline for Israel and the world’s collective future.

Each word of ONE JEWISH STATE is deeply instilled with meaning: ONE: There is only ONE country earmarked for the Jewish people; ONE. There are 49 Muslim countries, and many Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu countries, but only ONE Jewish State.

JEWISH: This Jewish State is exactly that—JEWISH. It is the place where Jewish history was born, where Jewish values were created and where more Jews live than anywhere else. It is situated on the land given to the Jewish people by God in the words of the Holy Bible.

STATE: Israel is not just a place; it is a country with sovereignty over its land and responsibility for its inhabitants. Today that sovereignty has been called into question by the nations of the world and even by some within Israel. But Israel cannot be Jewish without sovereignty over the places that make it Jewish. Friedman proposes a goal and a path, with God’s help, for Israel to have complete sovereignty over all its biblical homeland—in a just manner that brings peace, prosperity, and essential human dignity to ALL of Israel’s inhabitants.

History of Israel

The book is well written,and tells the sources of its information. It gives very convincing arguments, and I believe wise counsel for the way forward for Israel.

Critical Subject & Theory - A Compelling Listen

I couldn't stop listening. The expansive history lesson is critically enlightening. I wish the reader had a better command of Hebrew pronunciations. I sometimes struggled to comprehend his words.

Great book, hilarious reader

I can’t think of a single Hebrew word or Israeli place that the narrator managed to pronounce correctly. Distracting - makes an expert author’s voice incorrectly sound like someone who has never been to the region, or possibly even met a Jew.

Historical accuracy

One Jewish State is an educated view on the state of Israel and its surrounding enemies. Ambassador David Friedman offers realistic solutions for normalizing the region and promoting a better future for Israelis and the people of Judea and Samaria alike.

I wish everyone would read this, especially evangelicals that have questions.

Amazing book! I have such a high respect for Friedman after listening to this book on audible. He makes confusing issues clear! He is always logical and measured and sensible in his thinking. And his grasp of history and interests of various people groups is truly enlightening to those of us who are not experts.

We suffer from a dearth of information and an abysmal lack of education on this topic which this book largely rectified.

I highly recommend to Jews and Christians alike as well as to Arabs and atheists.

HORRENDOUS NARRATOR!

I am a longtime subscriber to Audible and have enjoyed dozens of Audible audio books. Some of the narrators truly are outstanding. But certainly not here! David Friedman wrote a compelling book - although recent events have overtaken some of it. Nevertheless, it remains well worth reading as Friedman's primary thesis remains extant and important. That said, I'm taking the time to write a review here to note the ABSOLUTELY AWFUL narration of this audio book. This narrator, Harvey Wallmann, emphasized the wrong word in virtually every sentence - revealing that he apparently had no idea what he was reading or what David Friedman's well-chose words actually mean. And Wallmann misprounces numerous words that he should well know as the narrator of this book. Mispronounce "Chabad" in a book about Israel? Really?? And near the end he actually pronounced "Reuters" as "Rooters"!! This man is in the wrong line of work, and shame on Audible for hiring him - and thereby ruining Amb. Friedman's fine work.

Novel idea

This is probably the only solution to the Gaza and West Bank problem. Everyone interested in this subject should read it.

Biblical connection to present events made it extremely informative. One state solution was very well presented and convincing.

Easy listen and eye opener

Do yourself a favor and listen to this amazing book, is good for the lay men/women and for the brilliant, everyone will learn

Realistic approach based on evidence and logic

Realistic approach to the region; many world leaders have been pushing failed policy for years, time to think a bit differently.
