How should we understand the international debate about the future
of Israel and the Palestinians? Can justice be achieved in the
Middle East? Until now, there was no single place for people to go
to find detailed scholarly essays analyzing proposals to boycott
Israel and the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement of
which they are a part. This book for the first time provides the
historical background necessary for informed evaluation of one of
the most controversial issues of our day - the struggle between two
peoples living side-by-side but with conflicting views of history
and conflicting national ambitions. This book encourages empathy
for all parties, but it also takes a cold look at what solutions
are realistic and possible. In doing so, it tackles issues, like
the role of anti-Semitism in calls for the abolition of the Jewish
state, that many have found impossible to confront until now. The
book gathers essays by an international cohort of scholars from
Britain, Israel, and the United States. Contributors Include:
Russell Berman, Emily Budick, Michael Berube, David Caplan, Donna
Divine, Rachel S. Harris, Dr. David Hirsch, Nancy Koppelman,
Richard Landes, Kenneth Marcus, Marthan Nussbaum, Sabah Salih,
Kenneth Stein, S. Ilan Troen, Shira Wolosky, Mitchell Cohen, Tammi
Rossman-Benjamin, Samuel Edelman, Alan Johnson, Michael Kotzin,
Sharon Musher, Asaf Romirowsky.
