Isabel Kershner wrote in a review for The New York Times: "Examining the political, ethical, religious and security aspects of the conundrum, Mr. Goodman’s book gives equal weight to arguments on all sides.

"[4] Stu Halpern wrote for the Jewish Book Council "Micah Goodman convincingly argues that although each side of the Israeli political divide believes they know the path to solving "the Palestinian problem", both are incorrect.

"[6] Ehud Barak, former Prime Minister of Israel, reviewed the book for the Haaretz and harshly criticized it, writing: If I were not confident beyond any doubt of the author’s intellectual integrity, I would say that this was an instructive example of post-truth and “alternative facts” being interwoven into a political debate.

Since I am certain of Goodman’s integrity, I can only assume that while writing the book he met, on the one hand, too many right-wingers who presuppose that their “ideology” is a priori embedded in reality and constitutes part of it.

Amplifying their arguments, most of which are from the realm of faith and wishful thinking, he demands for them equal footing with the professional views of the absolute majority of the experts.
