Nineteenth-century Europe turned the political status of its Jewish
communities into the “Jewish Question,” as both Christianity
and rising forms of nationalism viewed Jews as the ultimate other.
With the onset of Zionism, this “question” migrated to
Palestine and intensified under British colonial rule and in the
aftermath of the Holocaust. Zionism’s attempt to solve the
“Jewish Question” created what came to be known as the “Arab
Question,” which concerned the presence and rights of the Arab
population in Palestine. For the most part, however, Jewish
settlers denied or dismissed the question they created, to the
detriment of both Arabs and Jews in Palestine and elsewhere. This
book brings together leading scholars to consider how these two
questions are entangled historically and in the present day. It
offers critical analyses of Arab engagements with the question of
Jewish rights alongside Zionist and non-Zionist Jewish
considerations of Palestinian identity and political rights.
Together, the essays show that the Arab and Jewish questions, and
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which they have become
subsumed, belong to the same thorny history. Despite their major
differences, the historical Jewish and Arab questions are about the
political rights of oppressed groups and their inclusion within
exclusionary political communities—a question that continues to
foment tensions in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
Shedding new light on the intricate relationships among
Orientalism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, colonialism, and the
impasse in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book reveals the
inseparability of Arab and Jewish struggles for self-determination
and political equality. Contributors include Gil Anidjar, Brian
Klug, Amal Ghazal, Ella Shohat, Hakem Al-Rustom, Hillel Cohen,
Yuval Evri, Derek Penslar, Jacqueline Rose, Moshe Behar, Maram
Masarwi, and the editors, Bashir Bashir and Leila Farsakh.
