Impossible Takes Longer

Through a nuanced exploration of Israel's past, present, and future, the author examines the aspirations of Israel's founders in creating a "national home for the Jewish people." He evaluates whether these dreams have been realized by comparing contemporary Israel to its Declaration of Independence. The book addresses Israel's cultural flourishing, economic achievements, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and its unique form of Judaism, while providing a balanced perspective on the nation's successes and shortcomings. Ultimately, it presents Israel as a success beyond its founders' expectations.
