THE TERRORIST MASSACRE COMMITTED BY HAMAS AGAINST INNOCENT ISRAELIS 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 US Ambassador to Israel and bestselling author of SLEDGEHAMMER, to write and lead a new movement: ONE JEWISH STATEThe Last, Best Hope 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."Read everything Ambassador Friedman writes about Israel and Gaza. He knows his stuff."—HUGH HEWITT

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.

For readers who would like to learn economics for the fun of it, economics understood not as the study of the economy but as a tool for understanding human behavior: crime, marriage, politics, and much else. "In David Friedman's hands, economics becomes a sprightly science. Friedman has the rare knack of introducting fundamental principles with humorous examples. . . . a dazzling array that runs the gamut from supermarkets to pirate ships. . . . A clear picture of how simple assumptions about individual preferences and human rationality can increase our understanding of ordinary market behavior and a wide range of social institutions from marriage, to crime, to voting."Richard A. Epstein, The University of Chicago Law School" This book written nearly a decade ago before economics became hot far surpasses its successors such as "Freakonomics." "Amazon reviewer" The book of the month is HIDDEN ORDER: The Economics of Everyday Life. One doesn't normally think of an economics book as light and pleasant reading, but David makes it seem so. If you have any interest in economics at all, you'll find this book both readable and fascinating; and I guarantee you'll learn something from it." Jerry Pournelle in Byte "Hidden Order helps us look at everyday experience from the perspective of basic economics. Readers will be surprised to learn how much economics explains about their own behavior as well as about that of others ..."James M. Buchanan, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1986 "The author is a talented teacher, and he moves effortlessly from the traffic jams and grocery stores to the efficient-market hypothesis, price theory, and backward-bending labor curves." -Deborah Stead in The New York Times" David Friedman's gift is making some of the more complicated concepts of economics simple. In _Hidden Order_, he does this with his trademark wit and ingenuity. The most esoteric yet essential aspects of modern economic thought - marginal utility, indifference curves, opportunity costs, Nash equilibria, rent-seeking, etc - all come to life in this modest paperback."(Amazon reviewer) "A surprisingly lucid and useful book, and about as appealing as economics gets." - Kirkus ReviewsBooknotes Interview: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6_kYven-0c

This book looks at thirteen different legal systems, ranging from Imperial China to modern Amish: how they worked, what problems they faced, how they dealt with them. Some chapters deal with a single legal system, others with topics relevant to several, such as problems with law based on divine revelation or how systems work in which law enforcement is private and decentralized. The book's underlying assumption is that all human societies face the same problems, deal with them in an interesting variety of different ways, are all the work of grown-ups, hence should all be taken seriously. It ends with a chapter on features of past legal systems that a modern system might want to borrow.

As the fable goes, the Gods all got together to decide where they were going to hide the secret of life from Man. The first God said, "Let's hide it up in the sky. Man can't fly so he won't be able to get to it there." The second God said, "Let's hide it at the bottom of the sea. Man can't breathe underwater, so he won't be able to get to it there." Then, the third, and wisest God said, "I have an idea. Let's hide the secret of life right inside Man himself. He'll NEVER think of looking for it there 'For so many of us, we have spent years looking for success and fulfillment everywhere but where they can actually found. Inside of ourselves. There is nothing to attract. Nothing to target. Nothing to achieve. All we have to do is Notice what has been there all along, inside of ourselves. And the moment we do that, the physical world, which is nothing more than a mirror designed to reflect back to us what WE are thinking, MUST reflect what we are thinking. In fact, it's doing that right now. In this third book in The Thought Exchange Series, David fulfills his readers' and students' request for a simple workbook of step by step exercises in which we can understand, on an Experiential level, that EVERYTHING we could ever want we already have inside.
