Instant NYTimes and USA Today best­seller. Since Octo­ber 7, Roy Alt­man has giv­en hun­dreds of speech­es about Israel at church­es, syn­a­gogues, col­leges, law schools, and com­mu­ni­ty cen­ters around the coun­try. These hun­dreds of con­ver­sa­tions have shown him that the con­tem­po­rary debate in Amer­i­ca today cen­ters around six claims Israel’s adver­saries have advanced about the Jew­ish State: geno­cide, occu­pa­tion, apartheid, etc. And what’s most inter­est­ing about these claims is that they’re all actu­al­ly legal in nature. In Israel On Tri­al, Alt­man removes emo­tion, vit­ri­ol, and rhetoric from these dis­cus­sions and applies the same judi­cial method­ol­o­gy he uses in his court­room — a time-test­ed method­ol­o­gy judges and lawyers have been apply­ing to legal claims in court­rooms across the coun­try for 250 years — to each of these six claims. Each claim gets its own chap­ter and ends with a ver­dict that will show read­ers, using rea­son and com­mon sense, not only that each claim is false as a mat­ter of law, but also the extent to which the claims have been manip­u­lat­ed to min­i­mize Jew­ish suf­fer­ing and to prey on deeply held prej­u­dices about Jews.
