Yitzhak Laor is one of Israel's most prominent dissidents and
poets, a latter-day Spinoza who helps keep alive the critical
tradition within Jewish culture. In this work he fearlessly
dissects the complex attitudes of Western European liberal Left
intellectuals toward Israel, Zionism and the "Israeli peace camp."
He argues that through a prism of famous writers like Amos Oz,
David Grossman and A.B. Yehoshua, the peace camp has now adopted
the European vision of "new Zionism," promoting the fierce Israeli
desire to be accepted as part of the West and taking advantage of
growing Islamophobia across Europe. The backdrop to this uneasy
relationship is the ever-present shadow of the Holocaust. Laor is
merciless as he strips bare the hypocrisies and unarticulated
fantasies that lie beneath the love affair between "liberal
Zionists" and their European supporters.
