Summary:
"A new history of the
American
Jewish
relationship with
Israel
focused on its most urgent and sensitive the
question
of Palestinian rights.
American
Jews began debating Palestinian rights issues even before Israel’s founding in 1948. Geoffrey Levin recovers the voices of
American
Jews who, in the early decades of Israel’s existence, called for an honest reckoning with the moral and political plight of Palestinians. These now-forgotten voices, which include an aid-worker-turned-academic with Palestinian Sephardic roots, a former Yiddish journalist, anti-Zionist Reform rabbis, and young left-wing Zionist activists, felt drawn to support Palestinian rights by their understanding of
Jewish
history, identity, and ethics. They sometimes worked with mainstream
American
Jewish
leaders who feared that ignoring Palestinian rights could foster antisemitism, leading them to press Israeli officials for reform. But Israeli diplomats viewed any
American
Jewish
interest in Palestinian affairs with deep suspicion, provoking a series of quiet confrontations that ultimately kept Palestinian rights off the
American
Jewish
agenda up to the present era. In reconstructing this hidden history, Levin lays the groundwork for more forthright debates over Palestinian rights issues,
American
Jewish
identity, and the U.S.-Israel relationship more broadly."--Publisher.
