A dramatic shift is taking place in Israel and America. “Israel does not have a public relations problem; it has a policy problem. You can’t sell occupation in a postcolonial age.” In The Crisis of Zionism, Peter Beinart offers an elegant, deeply honest look at the failure of Jewish liberalism in forging Israel as a democratic state. And he offers a fascinating, groundbreaking portrait of the two leaders at the center of the crisis: Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu.
What Netanyahu and major American Jewish organizations miss is that, in Beinart’s words, “the less democratic Zionism becomes in practice, the more people across the world will question the legitimacy of Zionism itself.” Peter Beinart makes a strong case for a vision of Zionism that encompasses ending the occupation of the West Bank and deepening Jewish education in America. He explains the roots of the current political and religious debates within Israel, raises the tough questions that can’t be avoided, and offers a new way forward to achieve Zionism’s founding ideals, both in Israel and among the diaspora Jews in the United States and elsewhere.
This is an elegant, deeply honest look at the failure of Jewish liberalism in forging Israel as a democratic state. Beinart concludes with provocative proposals for how the relationship between American Jews and Israel must change, and with an eloquent and moving appeal for American Jews to defend the dream of a democratic Jewish state before it is too late. He has written a brave and important book about Zionism today. Even if you disagree with him, Anyone who cares about the future of Israel should still read this book.
