Publisher's summary

A controversial examination of the internal Israeli debate over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a best-selling Israeli author.

Since the Six-Day War, Israelis have been entrenched in a national debate over whether to keep the land they conquered or to return some, if not all, of the territories to Palestinians. In a balanced and insightful analysis, Micah Goodman deftly sheds light on the ideas that have shaped Israelis' thinking on both sides of the debate and among secular and religious Jews about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Contrary to opinions that dominate the discussion, he discovers that the paradox of Israeli political discourse is that both sides are right in what they affirm - and wrong in what they deny. Although he concludes that the conflict cannot be solved, Goodman is far from a pessimist and explores how instead it can be reduced in scope and danger through limited, practical steps. Through philosophical critique and political analysis, Goodman builds a creative, compelling case for pragmatism in a dispute where a comprehensive solution seems impossible.

Very good book!

If you are interested in why Israelies and Palestinains can not make peace this is the book for you. It is not a polemic nor is it an advocacy for either sides views, truths or propoganda. It is a highly intelligent book going over all the obstacles and in the end he makes a number of well thought through ideas how to improve relationshipx in which each side gets something.I thought I was knowledgable on the subject but I learned quite a bit new information. It is a book for intillectual provocation and new thought. I highly recommend this book for people who are willing to have their prejudices on this subject challenged. It is no t long nor difficult. I had a hard time putting it down.

Wow

A total eye opener, fascinating both politically and philosophically. It certainly changed my opinions and I’ve held my opinions for many decades. This book is a bridge. And a very effective bridge.

A Good Introduction

A good introduction to the internal conflicts within Israel. Definitely a beginner guide but nothing too new or groundbreaking

Interesting, short, requires prior knowledge

This was an easy listen, some of the points are being repeated too many times for such a short book. I was hoping for a more religious position and interpretations of the different aspects of the catch. Nevertheless, a fun, educating though somewhat naive and a little bit optimistic read.

Clear thinking; fair-minded analysis

Listening to this book post-Oct 7 2023. Although Goodman barely talks about Gaza, the analysis is still relevant, maybe more relevant than ever. He is such a clear thinker. Should be required reading for all politicians and diplomats.

Excellent book, very informative

This book is essential to anyone wanting a more informed understanding of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people. This book gives an excellent unbiased view of both sides and concludes with helpful ideas for change. I plan on listening to this book again.

Balin would not have been able to do any better and because of this it’s a classic

Great content, poor and off putting narration

Why would they choose a narrator who clearly does not know hebrew? Bizarre narration that really threw me off. However, the actual content was great. Maybe better off just reading this until the re-record it.

Phenomenal

A nuanced and educational look at the conflict. It is cautiously optimistic without delving into fantasy. It is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more.
