Publisher's Summary:

Soon after WWII, U.S. statesman Dean Acheson warned that creating Israel on land already inhabited by Palestinians would "imperil" both American and all Western interests in the region. Despite warnings such as this one, President Truman supported establishing a Jewish state on land primarily inhabited by Muslims and Christians.

Few Americans today are aware that U.S. support enabled the creation of modern Israel. Even fewer know that U.S. politicians pushed this policy over the forceful objections of top diplomatic and military experts.

As this work demonstrates, these politicians were bombarded by a massive pro-Israel lobbying effort that ranged from well-funded and very public Zionist organizations to an "elitist secret society" whose members included Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.

Against Our Better Judgment brings together meticulously sourced evidence to illuminate a reality that differs starkly from the prevailing narrative. It provides a clear view of the history that is key to understanding one of the most critically important political issues of our day.

Members Reviews:

Good content, bad audio

The book was very interesting, when I could hear it well enough. Unfortunately I had to crank my speaker volume to nervously high levels in order to make out most of the narrator's words, due to the low decibel, unclear audio of the recording.

Good history. Bad audio.

History worth knowing, but the audio was bad. If it was a longer book I probably would've gave up on it.

Crazy unbelievable

How does one react to the statement "what you think is white is really black" when it is unarguably referenced, seemingly meticulously put forth?

I don't know yet.

Exceptionally imortant history

This is an exceptionally important book - well-researched & thoroughly documented. It brings to light critical information which has heretofore been covered up, and which levels the playing field, in that despite these coverups, we can now understand what many Palestinians have known for decades: the full history of the creation of Israel, and the injustice with which the U.S. and Britain colluded. And we can understand better the roots of the conflict - which is essential not only for justice, but also for the security of Jews both in Israel and throughout the world.

Wow!

Zionism has done serious damage to the larger part of the Jewish community, it is has engendered behaviors by the top leaders of that movement that correspond to some very ugly historical anti-semitic tropes.

They are making it easy for the conspiracy tin hat crowd and the racist white nationalist all over the western world to say, "See, we were right about the Jews".

I really feel sorry for the regular Jewish people here in America that are being emotionally blackmailed into supporting this thuggish regime. Fortunately in the annals of history the truth will not be suppressed

but it will not be pretty when everyone will be forced to lay the duplicity out on the table for all to see.

The colonist in America were cruel to the natives of the land here as well as to our own population of African Americans.
