Israel on Trial featuring the Honorable Roy Altman
 

The Honorable Roy K. Altman, United States District Court Judge, will be at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.

to discuss the topic of his soon-to-be published book, Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law,

 

In an era shaped by viral slogans and curated outrage, Judge Altman will explain how to discern truth from propaganda as he addresses specific claims being made against Israel, including colonialism, apartheid, and genocide. In evaluating these claims, he will apply the courtroom-tested standards of burden of proof, corroboration, and chain of custody. Through historical records, archaeological evidence, genetic data, and international law, Judge Altman will demonstrate what it means to demand proof―and what’s at stake when we stop asking for it.

Judge Altman said, “My hope is that going forward my book will become a central part of the conversation, especially among young people, because it thoroughly explains why each of the primary claims against Israel is false as a matter of fact and law.”

Judge Altman will also discuss the judges’ trips he has been leading to Israel and the importance of becoming an ally with our Christian fellow citizens in defense of the only Democracy in the Middle East.

Key take-aways from his talk will include:

• How to evaluate modern political claims using legal reasoning
• Why historical evidence still matters in present-day discourse
• What international law actually says about occupation, apartheid, and genocide
• How antisemitic tropes have evolved into mainstream talking points
• A framework for intellectual integrity in an age of ideological warfare

 

Judge Altman’s book is not just a book about Israel. It’s a guide for anyone who believes facts still matter.
