Shattered Hopes: Obama's Failure to Broker Israeli-Palestinian Peace by Josh Rue

Description: Shattered Hopes by Josh Ruebner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Hard-hitting critique of the Obama administrations failure in the Middle East, by a leading DC-based advocate Publisher Description President Barack Obamas first trip abroad in his second term took him to Israel and the Palestinian West Bank, where he despondently admitted to those waiting for words of encouragement, "It is a hard slog to work through all of these issues." Contrast this gloomy assessment with Obamas optimism on the second day of his first term, when he appointed former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell as his special envoy for Middle East peace, boldly asserting that his administration would "actively and aggressively seek a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians." How is it that Obamas active and aggressive search for progress has become mired in the status quo?Writer and political analyst Josh Ruebner charts Obamas journey from optimism to frustration in the first hard-hitting investigation into why the president failed to make any progress on this critical issue, and how his unwillingness to challenge the Israel lobby has shattered hopes for peace.Written in a clear and accessible style by the advocacy director of a national peace organization and former Middle East analyst for the Congressional Research Service, Shattered Hopes offers an informed history of the Obama administrations policies and maps out a true path forward for the United States to help achieve Israeli-Palestinian peace.
