Fights about the fate of the state of Israel, and the Zionist
movement that gave birth to it, have long been a staple of both
Jewish and American political culture. But despite these arguments'
significance to American politics, American Jewish life, and to
Israel itself, no one has ever systematically examined their
history and explained why they matter. In We Are Not One, historian
Eric Alterman traces this debate from its nineteenth-century
origins. Following Israel's 1948-1949 War of Independence (called
the "nakba" or "catastrophe" by Palestinians), few Americans,
including few Jews, paid much attention to Israel or the challenges
it faced. Following the 1967 Six-Day War, however, almost overnight
support for Israel became the primary component of American Jews'
collective identity. Over time, Jewish organizations joined forces
with conservative Christians and neoconservative pundits and
politicos to wage a tenacious fight to define Israel's image in the
US media, popular culture, Congress, and college campuses. Deeply
researched, We Are Not One reveals how our consensus on Israel and
Palestine emerged and why, today, it is fracturing.
