Moment of Truth: Tackling Israel-Palestine’s Toughest Questions.
Edited by Jamie Stern-Weiner
(OR Books £18)
COVERING some of the most knotty questions about Israel-Palestine, Moment of Truth is an important resource for those who wish to drill down into the details of the debates to gain an in-depth understanding of the conflict.
Edited by Jamie Stern-Weiner, a graduate in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford, the book is structured in an interesting way, with the expert contributors make their conflicting cases in a series of exchanges, with other respondents also weighing in.
This “should inspire intellectual humility as well as political urgency,” argues Stern-Weiner, “as well as a readiness to acknowledge that … compelling arguments can be advanced from multiple sides.”
