## Resource

In this engaging episode of IsraelCast , Steven Shalowitz sits down with Judge Roy K. Altman to discuss his new book, Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law . Drawing on history, archaeology, and international law, Altman addresses some of the most common accusations leveled against Israel, including claims of colonialism, apartheid, occupation, and genocide. He also shares insights from leading educational delegations to Israel and discusses how firsthand experience can challenge widely held misconceptions. The conversation explores Jewish indigeneity, the power of historical evidence, the rise of misinformation in the post–October 7 landscape, and the importance of defending truth in an age of growing polarization. Thoughtful and timely, this episode offers listeners a deeper understanding of the narratives shaping the conversation around Israel today.
