Purchase options and add-ons

As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalates, a dangerous illusion persists that the American Jewish community speaks with a single voice, expressing universal, uncritical support for the policies of the Sharon government. This appearance of unanimity does grave disservice to the heterogeneity of Jewish thought, and to the centuries-old Jewish traditions of lively dispute and rigorous, unapologetic skeptical inquiry. Wrestling with Zion brings together prominent poets, essayists, journalists, activists, academics, novelists, and playwrights, representing the diversity of opinion in the progressive Jewish-American community regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. All the participants share three things: a Jewish identity, an American identity, and a sense of urgency, refusing to ignore the catastrophic injustice that has been visited upon the Palestinian people, while at the same time being passionately committed to Jewish survival and American legacies of compassion and moral courage. The contributors — including Nathan Englander, Susan Sontag, Robert Pinsky, Daniel Wolfe, and many others — have considered certain essential questions: What is at the heart of the connection between Israel and American Jews? What is Israel's role in shaping Jewish-American identities? How has this role changed historically? And what is the history, both familiar and forgotten, of Zionism's political, cultural, and spiritual meaning?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of American Jewish thought re Zionism in 2003
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Well written and structured collection of essays by American Jewish intellectuals in 2003. What I found tragic: the same issues are full blown in Gaza and Israel today 2024.

    The root of the issue is the absence of equality and justice for Israeli and Palestinian citizens alike, a circumstance which was foreshadowed by these authors 20 years ago.

  • The Truth Shall Set You Free
    5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for bogus reviews
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2007
    Watch out for reviews from people like Shalom Freedman. It's ironic that this reviewer summons the line "Have you no shame?" while at the same time dismissing all Jews he doesn't agree with as self-hating. Rather than counter their arguments with his own, this type of lazy reviewer seeks to circumvent intellectual discussion altogether with ugly ad hominem attacks. His hateful screeds aren't just directed at books, but at their authors as well. He leaves the same bankrupt reviews for any and every book that dares criticize Israel or Zionism. Mr. Freedman clearly has nothing better to do with his time than bash books and authors whom he has clearly not even bothered to read. Where is YOUR shame, Mr. Freedman?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Important Additions to a Critical Debate
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2003
    This important collection of essays presents a wide variety of views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (in fact, at least one of the folks collected here is Jewish-Canadian, not Jewish-American, but that if anything adds to the richness of the collection). The Jewish community does not speak with a single voice on these issues. For an active member of this community such as myself who often feels out of step with national organizations that pretend to speak for me, a book like this is a particular breath of fresh air. I certainly don't agree with everything in it (indeed, as the introduction points out, the essays often disagree with each other). But its mere existence puts the lie to the notion that all American Jews are Likudniks, that the only way to support Israel is to endorse every action taken by its government.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2011
    The two editors, Kushner and Solomon, are also two of our most cherished writers in the United States, working now. I trust that they both wrestled deeply inside themselves to achieve this rare and vital work. I salute them both and am personally grateful for the book, which offers insights to a history that we tend not to see. Simply, Kushner and Solomon have uncovered a rock, and allowed the creepy crawly feelings to come out and be examined.

    4.0 out of 5 stars American Jewish academic criticism of Israel
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2023
    This was the first book I read about Israel. I wouldn't recommend it as a first read, it would probably have been better to start with a more neutral history book like A History of Israel by Howard Sachar.

    This is a very good book to read if you want to understand why American Jewish leftist academics are critical of Israel.

    The essays are dense and rich and bring up a lot of good points and discussion topics even if you don't agree with them. The letters by Cultural Zionists (who wanted a spiritual center for Jews in Israel but not a state) show how much history of dissent against Israel there was within the Jewish community since the early days of Zionism.

    My favorite essays were:

    "A Truth from Eretz Yisrael" by Ahad Ha'am
    from "Zionism Reconsidered" by Hannah Arendt
    "Israel's Spiritual Climate" by Isaac Deutscher
    "The United States-Israel Alliance" by Joel Beinin
    "Israel and the Media: An Acquired Taste" by Seth Ackerman
    "The Chosen: Ideological Roots of the U.S.-Israeli Special Relationship" by Daniel Lazare
    "Jew vs. Jew: On the Jewish Civil War and the New Prophetic" by Marc H. Ellis
    "Rally 'Round the Flag" by Douglas Rushkoff
    "Dislocated Identities: Reflections of an Arab-Jew" by Ella Habiba Shohat
    "My Patriarch Problem--and Ours" by Richard Goldstein
    "Is There Still a Jewish Question? Why I'm an Anti-Anti-Zionist" by Ellen Willis
    "The Charge of Anti-Semitism: Jews, Israel, and the Risks of Public Critique" by Judith Butler

  • John C. Landon
    5.0 out of 5 stars Beginning with Herzl...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2004
    This important series of essays probes the situation of Israel, Zionism, and the crisis of the Jewish state. Non-Jewish voices have been either been silenced, or tossed in the towel in a hopelessly vexed situation where mere grumbling out loud can be called antisemitic. It is hard to to match the discourse of Jews themselves. Getting to the facts is almost a full time job, especially with the flying fortress amicus curiae stuff of people like Dershowitz in 'The Case for Israel'. Among many essays one probes the current post-Camp David 'cover story', 'Arafat's fault'...
    One essay about Constantinian Judaism is especially insightful and the slow progression from ethical culture to power state is unnervingly on the mark. Jews are supposed to be smart people, but apparently not enough to grasp the slow but steady political destruction of the Jewish idea, too fragile to withstand the corrosive treatment of Machiavellian in Old Testament Hollywood applied to Palestinians.
    Worth reading, agree or not, in a twisted news environment.
