Book Talk and Signing with Josh Ruebner, author of SHATTERED HOPES: Obama’s Failure to Broker Israeli-Palestinian Peace

Shattered Hopes: Obama’s
Failure to Broker Israeli-Palestinian Peace
(Verso, September 2013) is 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. 
It offers
an informed history of the Obama administration’s policies and maps out a true
path forward for the United States to help achieve Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Josh
Ruebner is the National Advocacy Director of the US Campaign to End the Israeli
Occupation, a national coalition of more than 400 organizations working to end
U.S. support for Israel’s illegal 46-year military occupation of the
Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, and to change U.S.
policy toward Israel and the Palestinians to support human rights,
international law, and equality.

Ruebner
holds a graduate degree in International Affairs from Johns Hopkins University
School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, DC.  His analysis and commentary on U.S. policy
toward the Middle East appear frequently in media such as NBC, ABC Nightline,
CSPAN, Al Jazeera, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, The Hill, Detroit Free Press,
Huffington Post, Middle East Report, and more.
