Israel on Trial (Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law) - 9798891884083

When the slogans are louder than the facts, evidence becomes a moral imperative.

In Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law, United States District Judge Roy K. Altman brings legal rigor to the world’s most contentious debate. Applying courtroom-tested standards—burden of proof, corroboration, chain of custody—he examines claims of colonialism, apartheid, and genocide with dispassionate precision.

In an era shaped by viral slogans and curated outrage, Judge Altman offers a disciplined method for discerning truth from propaganda. Through historical records, archaeological evidence, genetic data, and international law, Israel on Trial shows what it means to demand proof—and what’s at stake when we stop asking for it.

Key takeaways include:

• How to evaluate modern political claims using legal reasoning
• Why historical evidence still matters in present-day discourse
• What international law actually says about occupation, apartheid, and genocide
• How antisemitic tropes have evolved into mainstream talking points
• A framework for intellectual integrity in an age of ideological warfare

This is not just a book about Israel. It’s a guide for anyone who believes facts still matter.
