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."-- $c From Amazon. 650 0 $a Israel and the diaspora. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $x Attitudes toward Israel. 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs $x History $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a American Jewish Committee. 650 0 $a Arab-Israeli conflict $x Foreign public opinion, American. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Palestine $x Foreign public opinion, American. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Arab-Israeli conflict. 650 0 $a Palestine question (To 1948) 650 0 $a Palestine question (1948-) 610 27 $a American Jewish Committee. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00541037. 650 7 $a Arab-Israeli conflict. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812220. 650 7 $a Israel and the diaspora. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980257. 650 7 $a Jews $x Attitudes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983142. 650 7 $a Jews $x Attitudes toward Israel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983143. 650 7 $a Jews $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983330. 650 7 $a Palestinian Arabs $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051620. 651 7 $a Middle East $z Palestine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207534. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240716012809.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45A667EE433911EF824246BD21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
