THE TERRORIST MASSACRE COMMITTED BY HAMAS AGAINST INNOCENT ISRAELS ON OCTOBER 7, 2023 BROUGHT GREAT TRAUMA TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL.BUT IT ALSO HAS BROUGHT GREAT CLARITY. It is this clarity that tells us we must try something NEW. It is this clarity that tells us Israel must plan its future on its own and not obsess about what others think. And it is this clarity that compels us to go back to basics -- to return to the biblical values and divine covenants that unite the Jewish people.It is this clarity that has inspired David Friedman, former Ambassador to Israel and bestselling author of SLEDGEHAMMER, to write and lead a new movement: ONE JEWISH STATEThe Last, Best Chance to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.One of the leading architects of the historic Abraham Accords, David Friedman explains why in these turbulent and dangerous times, the simple phrase of three words - ONE JEWISH STATE - must be the guideline for Israel and the world's collective future.Each word of ONE JEWISH STATE is deeply instilled with meaning: ONE: There is only ONE country earmarked for the Jewish people; ONE. There are 49 Muslim countries, and many Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu countries, but only ONE Jewish State. JEWISH: This Jewish State is exactly that - JEWISH. It is the place where Jewish history was born, where Jewish values were created and where more Jews live than anywhere else. It is situated on the land given to the Jewish people by God in the words of the Holy Bible.STATE: Israel is not just a place; it is a country with sovereignty over its land and responsibility for its inhabitants. Today that sovereignty has been called into question by the nations of the world and even by some within Israel. But Israel cannot be Jewish without sovereignty over the places that make it Jewish. Friedman proposes a goal and a path, with God's help, for Israel to have complete sovereignty over all its biblical homeland - in a just manner that brings peace, prosperity, and essential human dignity to ALL of Israel's inhabitants. In ONE JEWISH STATE he will explore: The History of the Israeli-Palestinian ConflictThe True History of Jews and Muslims in the Disputed TerritoriesPast, Present & Future Legal IssuesPrior Proposals, Peace Plans and So-Called "Solutions," and Why They ALL FailedWhy Israel has Succeeded as a Regional Superpower While its Arab Neighbors Have FailedPalestinian Tribalism and the Creation of a Nationalist MovementReligious and Biblical Issues, Conflict and AgreementPalestinian and Muslim Leaders and Goals for Their PeoplesGeographic and Security Considerations for ALLHamas and the Gaza Strip - Insoluble for NowAmerican Evangelicals and Their InfluenceAmbassador Friedman's book persuasively explains the many reasons why in this massive world there MUST remain room for ONE JEWISH STATE.
The Trump administration's peace agreements in the Middle East were the greatest foreign policy accomplishment in decades. Now, for the first time, his ambassador to Israel explains how they pulled it off.Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity. For decades, the U.S. State Department called it diplomacy.David Friedman was an outside candidate when President Trump appointed him U.S. ambassador to Israel. He took office to find U.S.-Israel policy stuck in stalemate. For years, accepted wisdom was that extensive experience and detailed knowledge of Middle Eastern history and culture were necessary to negotiate treaties. In truth, Friedman realized, all parties played on that accepted wisdom to stall?expecting to get a better deal further down the road.Tossing the State Department playbook aside and incorporating insights from his many years as a negotiator in the American private sector, Friedman and a small team with no prior diplomatic experience revamped American diplomacy to project ?peace through strength.? He emphasized the importance of leverage, the key to any good negotiation. After painstaking, behind-the-scenes work, the Abraham Accords were signed: a historic series of peace deals between Israel and the five Muslim nations.In Sledgehammer, Friedman tells the true story of how the Abraham Accords came about. He takes us from the Oval Office to the highest echelons of power in the Middle East, putting us at the table during the intense negotiations that led to this historic breakthrough. The inside story of arguably the greatest achievement of the Trump Administration, Sledgehammer is an important, inspiring account of the hard, hopeful work necessary to bring long overdue?and lasting?peace to one of the most turbulent and tragic regions of the globe.
In today''s complex and challenging world, we often find ourselves facing problems for which there seem to be no answers. In this practical and inspirational book, songwriter and author David Friedman explores the idea that there are ALWAYS answers, and they often come in ways we don''t expect, if only we are willing to be open to the possibilities. In 1990, David wrote the song, Help is on the Way, in response to the AIDS crisis.

Each chapter in the book is a line from the song, and is filled with stories, essays, anecdotes, quotations and practical advice. So whatever challenges you may be facing today, pick up this book, and know that Help is on the Way.
