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.

There’s no simple answer but there is one!
Coming from an unusual angle this book provides many seeds of hope but then shows their flaws. However it does make you think differently and that is the basis for the only solution possible and that is only a stop-gap.

An important book
The insights of this book are important and it offers a relately plausible path to finding a solution to the conflict. It deserves more attention then it has been given.

Holds your hand a little too tight
The author says the book doesn't seem to have changed many minds in Israel. Maybe they felt patronised, maybe they just got bored.
