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.
