Why has the European Left become so antagonistic towards Israel? To
answer this question, Colin Shindler looks at the struggle between
Marxism-Leninism and Zionism from the October Revolution to today.
Is such antagonism in opposition to the policies of successive
Israeli governments? Or, is it due to a resurgence of
anti-Semitism? The answer is far more complex. Shindler argues that
the new generation of the European Left was more influenced by the
decolonization movement than by wartime experiences, which led it
to favor the Palestinian cause in the post 1967 period. Thus the
Israeli drive to settle the West Bank after the Six Day war
enhanced an already existing attitude, but did not cause it.
Written by a respected scholar, this accessible and balanced work
provides a novel account and analytical approach to this important
subject. Israel and the European Left will interest students in
international politics, Middle Eastern studies, as well as anyone
who seeks to understand issues related to today's Left and the
Arab-Israeli conflict.
