Read Walter L. Hixson's Review ([link removed])
Marc Lamont Hill and Mitchell Plitnick point out that Democrats “rarely, if ever, express the basic premise that Palestinians should have all of the same rights as Israelis.” On the comparatively rare occasions when they do advocate for Palestinian rights, liberals often stress that such change would “benefit the vast majority of Israeli Jews.” Similarly, liberal Democrats sometimes condemn Israel’s illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, yet “when it comes to actual substantive policy debate, there is no appetite for it.”

Having written a great many books about the Israel lobby, I was nevertheless surprised at how convincingly Walter L. Hixson distills precise conclusions from lobby obfuscations and the cloudy historical morass.
By naming names, and taking no prisoners, this book forms the new retaining wall against fuzzy thinking and unfounded conclusions proposing that somehow our horrific present is the fault of Palestinians, foundering American progressive activists and other marginalized constituencies.

Jeff Halper’s latest book, Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine, makes the case for one state from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, and argues that the global civil society and solidarity infrastructure is in place to make this outcome a reality. The book is a byproduct of the One Democratic State Campaign (ODSC), an upstart movement launched by Halper and others to provide a clear vision for one, democratic state.

Guilt and a sense of culpability for their country’s past crimes against the Jewish people have led many Germans—particularly the country’s government—to adopt highly supportive positions vis-à-vis Israel.
In The Moral Triangle, scholars Sa’ed Atshan and Katharina Galor dare to explore the sensitive intricacies of this issue. The book is a result of extensive fieldwork they conducted in Berlin, interviewing residents of Israeli, Palestinian and German background. Their research seeks to answer one central question: What moral responsibility does the German state and society have toward the Israeli and Palestinian populations currently living within its borders?

Consumers have to thank Ralph Nader for automobile safety regulations, the Clean Water and Air acts, the law establishing the Environmental Protection Agency, and many other government reforms meant to protect us. With the publication of The Ralph Nader and Family Cookbook, we now have to thank him for his sage advice on cooking healthy meals.
