Synopsis

New York Times best-selling author Alan Dershowitz presents a persuasive roadmap for achieving a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine. As he did in his widely acclaimed work The Case for Israel, the renowned defender of civil liberties offers compelling—and sometimes controversial —solutions for ending this bloody, divisive conflict. Dershowitz maintains that, following the death of Yassar Arafat and the democratic election of Mahmoud Abbas, the time is ripe to let go of old assumptions and embrace new solutions. The challenge, too, is not only to achieve peace, but to do it without further loss of life in the region. The answer, Dershowitz maintains, lies in a two-state solution, with Israel recognizing the rights of Palestinian refugees and Palestine making a concentrated effort to stamp out terrorism. Both sides must take bold steps toward peace—steps that ensure a continuing security in the region. With unflinching candor and rigorous logic, Dershowitz targets the opponents of Israel, including the United Nations, the media, and American academics who insist on a one-state solution. But he also attacks Israeli and Pelestinian extremists who oppose peace. By plotting out a realistic course of action, The Case for Peace demands the attention of anyone interested in the future of global politics.

Goodreads review by Amjad on May 09, 2015

One should read the book as a lawyer's defense in favor of Israel and then how peace can be achieved conserving Israel's best interests. The book has many good arguments in favor of a two-state solution, but the only argument against it is that Arabs's population grows faster than the Jewish, i.e. it......more

Goodreads review by Heather on June 28, 2010

Starting with nearly losing a friendship because I was distressed at what seemed a callous disregard for the lives of Palestinian people I've begun an education. And, wow, I had no idea. No idea at all. I was put off a bit by his reading (he doesn't hide his contempt and uses sarcasm a lot) but for......more

Goodreads review by Erezb on October 09, 2014

Alan Dershowitz analyzes with great logic and directness the geopolitical impediments for peace, or rather, the main subjects on the table of negotiation. This book a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the current situation of the conflict. I have however, one major criticism (alongside sma......more

Goodreads review by Evan on March 28, 2020

I found this book so helpful. The author presents each chapter as a question. He attacks the Arab-Israeli conflict from a lot of different angles, diving into contentious topics honestly asking the question, “if this remains how it is, is peace truly possible?” Interesting read for those needing a m......more
