How Israel is dividing American Jews Trouble in the Tribe explores
the increasingly contentious place of Israel in the American Jewish
community. In a fundamental shift, growing numbers of American Jews
have become less willing to unquestioningly support Israel and more
willing to publicly criticize its government. More than ever
before, American Jews are arguing about Israeli policies, and many,
especially younger ones, are becoming uncomfortable with Israel's
treatment of Palestinians. Dov Waxman argues that Israel is fast
becoming a source of disunity for American Jewry, and that a new
era of American Jewish conflict over Israel is replacing the old
era of solidarity. Drawing on a wealth of in-depth interviews with
American Jewish leaders and activists, Waxman shows why Israel has
become such a divisive issue among American Jews. He delves into
the American Jewish debate about Israel, examining the impact that
the conflict over Israel is having on Jewish communities, national
Jewish organizations, and on the pro-Israel lobby. Waxman sets this
conflict in the context of broader cultural, political,
institutional, and demographic changes happening in the American
Jewish community. He offers a nuanced and balanced account of how
this conflict over Israel has developed and what it means for the
future of American Jewish politics. Israel used to bring American
Jews together. Now it is driving them apart. Trouble in the Tribe
explains why.
