Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law, (Hardcover)

New York Times Bestseller

USA Today BestsellerWhen 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.
