This book on the American-Jewish relationship with Israel focuses on its most urgent and sensitive issue: the question of Palestinian rights. Author Geoffrey Levin discusses the many ways that American Jews have grappled with challenging ethical and political questions stemming from the early decades of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It reveals the secret ways that Israeli, Arab, and American government actors shaped the limits of American Jewish discourse during Israel’s first thirty years.
