Khalidi lays out the abuse of language that has created the Orwellian status quo in the Middle East. He shows that while the U.S. supports Israel with billions of dollars and diplomatic cover for continued occupation and territorial expansion, they have simultaneously posed as the "honest broker", all the while preventing real negotiations based on international and human rights law and UN resolutions to take place.The author goes into three historical moments to analyze and expose the charade of "even-handed" American mediation. Probably the most interesting chapters are on the peace negotiations of the 1990s, the chapter on President Obama, and the Conclusion. What makes the chapter on the negotiations of the 90's so interesting is that Khalidi participated in them as an advisor so he cites original, never-before-seen primary documents showing the American and Israeli positions.As AN American I can only hope that President Obama in his second term does something to change the destructive and blind support of Israel, and that the U.S. actually acts as an honest broker to make a just and equitable peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This would not only be good for the people of the region but would greatly enhance U.S. standing and security in the world.I also saw that Khalidi had an op-ed in the NYT, March 13, 2013 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I respect the author&will inform him of the vandalism! *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023* I do NOT buy a history book to have an insertion from "Misilla Internet" seller preaching his Christian-God fanaticism, a very bad poem & non-science lies trees of praying to his God! Full refund required. Will go to a bookstore! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A blunt and honest book on US's failure to ensure peace. *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2022* Prof. Rashid Khalidi's book is conscise, blunt, honest and revealing on USA's role as the supposed " honest broker" trying to get Palestinian representatives and Israel to reach a final peace settlement for Palestinians.The US has always favoured Israel for its strategic position in the region and this is clearly evidenced by USA's continued unconditional support of Israel and the US use of its veto power in the UN to curb or frustrate any limitations placed on Israel . In many ways the USA has been instrumental in exasperating the Palestinian/ Israel conflict.If there is one book that succintly explains and exposes US' deceitful position, it is this book ! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5785281-brokers-of-deceit-how-the-u-s-has-undermined-peace](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5785281-brokers-of-deceit-how-the-u-s-has-undermined-peace) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
