What Justice Demands: America and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

By: Elan Journo

Narrated by: Scott R. Pollak

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.

seeking the truth

this was a great succinct description of the history of the conflict. This is a must read for those who seek the truth about who the real villians are.

Good Summary of the Conflict

This is a good objective summary of this unresolved conflict with a historical overview. It was written in 2019 but is still relevant today.

New approach for the US to view the Israeli - Palestinian conflict

The author provides a new approach for the US to view the Israeli Palestinian contract. This new approach is based on freedom the author considers the objectives of both the state of Israel and the Palestinian national movement, their means and how much freedom this enable to their people. the author provides a historic review of the conflict in the Middle East, and demonstrates how all the countries in the Middle East, apart from Israel, our countries that do not allow freedom of individuals to the people living in these countries. The author demonstrates that on the other hand, the people that live in Israel do have these freedoms. The author goes into great depth to demonstrate how the Palestinian national movement has been militant indifferent countries they lived in, creating civil unrest in Jordan Lebanon and Gaza. the author demonstrates that the Palestinian national movement is not committed to the benefit of the Palestinian people, and actually Acts as a tyrannical dictatorship just like many other countries in the Middle East.

Great book for historical context

If you're looking for historical context, this book is a must read trust me.

Great, fact-based analysis then argument for using morality (good vs evil) to guide foreign policy.

Solid proposition for demanding that morality guide our handling of foreign policy issues and for standing for what is right and good in the face of unfounded opposition based on evil. This book takes a measured approach using an objective recount of history then draws to a plainly stated, well-supported, and perhaps irrefutable conclusion as to what justice demands.
