The Crisis of Zionism
by Peter Beinart (Times Books, 2012)
available at Amazon
Beinart calls on American Jews to embrace the proper ethical demands of Judaism. These demands require an end to the occupation of the settler territories and the fulfilment of a two-state solution. This liberal Zionism is opposed by mainstream Jewish organizations and the current Israeli government, which are too willing to ignore the reality of Jewish power and to justify anything in the name of Jewish survival. Celebrating the creation of J Street and other liberal Zionist groups, Beinart calls on American Jews to navigate through the twin obstacles of indifferent assimilation and non-liberal Orthodoxy in order to carry on the best traditions of Zionism.
