Daniel Bookman’s new book, Beyond Power: Israel and the Struggle for the Ethical State, arrives at a moment when many people sense that something fundamental is breaking down in public life. Trust in institutions is fading. Political debate feels hostile and shallow. Moral language is everywhere. However, moral clarity feels absent. This book sets out to explain why.
Bookman argues that modern societies are facing not just political crises, but ethical ones. Democracies, he suggests, are being eroded from within by moral confusion, selective compassion, and the erosion of shared responsibility. When power becomes the primary goal and ethics are treated as optional, social cohesion weakens, and division grows.
A distinctive feature of the book is its refusal to rely on slogans or ideological shortcuts. Drawing on history, law, and contemporary events, Bookman builds a disciplined analysis that connects issues often discussed separately. Antisemitism, geopolitical tension, progressive activism, and democratic decline are shown to be related expressions of deeper struggles over power and legitimacy.
Israel occupies a central place in this analysis. Rather than focusing solely on daily headlines, the book explains why Israel stands at the center of global controversy. Bookman presents Israel as an ethical challenge to authoritarian and power-based systems, which helps explain both its resilience and the intensity of the opposition it faces.
The book also introduces practical tools, including an integrity test that helps readers distinguish genuine compassion from ideology. This approach reflects Bookman’s background as a lawyer, bringing structure and accountability to moral reasoning in a manner that is often lacking in public debate.
This book avoids exaggeration and emotional manipulation. Its tone is calm, rational, and focused on understanding rather than persuasion.
For readers seeking clarity in a divided world, this book offers a thoughtful and timely perspective. It invites reflection, challenges assumptions, and encourages a more honest engagement with the moral questions shaping our time.
