Book Synopsis Jewish Identity and Palestinian Rights by : David Landy
Download or read book Jewish Identity and Palestinian Rights written by David Landy and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diaspora Jews are increasingly likely to criticise Israel and support Palestinian rights. In the USA, Europe and elsewhere, Jewish organisations have sprung up to oppose Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, facing harsh criticism from fellow Jews for their actions. Why and how has this movement come about? What does it mean for Palestinians and for diaspora Jews? Jewish Identity and Palestinian Rights is a groundbreaking study of this vital and growing worldwide social movement, examining in depth how it challenges traditional diasporic Jewish representations of itself. It looks at why people join this movement and how they relate to the Palestinians and their struggle, asking searching questions about transnational solidarity movements. This book makes an important contribution to Israel/Palestine and Jewish studies and responds to urgent questions in social movement theory.

Book excerpt: Embark on a thought-provoking journey through the complex dynamics of Israel-Palestine discourse, as this compelling exploration delves into the impact of dominant rhetoric on negating Palestinian history and identity. Uncover the nuanced boundaries of political speech within American Jewish discourse regarding Israel, exploring who dares to cross them and the consequential aftermath. This study sheds light on the motivations that lead certain Jewish dissenters to challenge intracommunal boundaries about Israel and examines how these boundaries shift within different contexts. Through a meticulous textual analysis, discover the transformative power of dissenting rhetoric in redefining Jewish identity. Dissenters not only advocate for Palestinian rights but also assert a reimagined understanding of what it truly means to be Jewish, challenging the prevailing narrative of unquestionable Zionism.

Book Synopsis Palestinian Rights by : Frank R Moore
Download or read book Palestinian Rights written by Frank R Moore and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is about the ways that American Jewish rhetoric of dissent redraws the contours of Jewish identity as a mode of ethical relations that heeds the call for Palestinian freedom. Dissenters enact a reinvention of Jewish identity through criticism of Zionism and illiberal Israeli policies toward Palestinians. Although there is an abundance of scholarship on what is widely referred to as the Israel-Palestine conflict in political science, international relations, history, Middle Eastern and North African studies, Israel studies, communication studies, and feminist, queer, and ethnic studies, there is a somewhat surprising lack of literature in rhetoric. Rhetoricians such as Matthew Abraham, Robert C. Rowland, and David A. Frank have begun to pave a foundation for Palestine and Israel in rhetorical studies. We need further research into the rhetorical nature of contemporary ethnonationalist ideology and the material conditions that undergird the circulation of its narratives.
Download or read book A Time to Speak Out written by Anne Karpf and published by Verso. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this volume, a collection of strong Jewish voices come together to explore some of the most challenging issues facing diaspora Jews, notably in relation to the ongoing conflict in Israel-Palestine. Most of the contributors are signatories of the Independent Jewish Voices declaration which, when launched in 2007 in Britain, opened a floodgate of responses. This book bears witness to the urgency of that continuing debate. It provides powerful evidence of the vitality of independent Jewish opinion as well as demonstrating that criticism of Israel has a crucial role to play in the continuing history of a Jewish concern for social justice."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Beyond Tribal Loyalties by : Avigail Abarbanel
Download or read book Beyond Tribal Loyalties written by Avigail Abarbanel and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-10 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an expectation in Jewish communities that all Jews embrace Zionism and offer automatic, unquestioning support for Israel, "right or wrong". Jewish identity and Zionism are commonly and deliberately blurred. Jews who criticise Israel are often vilified and excluded. By expressing sympathy for the Palestinians, they risk being branded as traitors and accused of "supporting the enemies of Israel". Beyond Tribal Loyalties is a unique collection of twenty-five personal stories of Jewish peace activists from Australia, Canada, Israel, the United Kingdom & the United States. The stories focus on the complex and intensely personal journey that Jewish activists go through to free themselves from the hold of Zionist ideology. Most of the contributors were once unquestioning supporters of Israel and Zionism but something happened that caused them to re-evaluate their relationship with Israel and the Palestinians people. This journey often involved a reassessment of personal values, belief system and identity. Beyond Tribal Loyalties seeks to understand what makes it possible for Jewish peace activists to go through this transformative journey & engage in activism, despite fanatical and sometimes violent opposition. This is an inspiring book for anyone who is interested in the experience of being a peace activist. It offers a fresh and unusual angle on the Israeli-Palestinian situation & is a unique contribution in a field where political analysis is common, but where the personal angle is often lacking. As this second edition goes to print, the world feels precarious. Israel is winning the propaganda war, aided and abetted by a particularly belligerent US Administration. Led by an unscrupulous and corrupt Prime Minister, Israel has become so overconfident that it no longer hides its immense influence over US and British politics. Unconditional Jewish support for Israel persists and activists continue to be intimidated into silence with baseless accusations of antisemitism. As a result, the Palestinian voice is weakening and their cause is not getting the support it needs. Six years from the original publication of Beyond Tribal Loyalties, the voices in the book and the stories they tell have a particularly powerful message to offer that is not only about Israeli settler-colonialism in Palestine but about humanity in general.
Book Synopsis What is the difference between Judaism and Zionism? The impact of religion on political decision-making in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by : Ruth Esther Schwarz
Download or read book What is the difference between Judaism and Zionism? The impact of religion on political decision-making in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict written by Ruth Esther Schwarz and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the present day, wide-spread confusion regarding the meaning of the terms Judaism and Zionism persists both inside and outside Israel. The popular opinion is that the terms are synonyms. But this implies the false assumption that anti-Zionism equals anti-Semitism. As Ruth Esther Schwarz shows the Israeli right-wing regime uses this dangerous shortcut in order to justify its ongoing colonization of Palestine. Based on the work of Israel’s New Historians, Schwarz’s book aims at deconstructing the mainstream mindset concerning Judaism and Zionism. Therefore, she analyses the nature of the principal ideological streams and their complex interconnections before and after 1948. She focusses on orthodox Judaism, religious Zionism, Jewish radical messianism, Jewish fundamentalism, the ideological change of traditional Zionism and, last but not least, the role of Christian Zionism in the United States. Keywords: - Judaism; - Zionism; - Israeli-Palestinian conflict; - religious Zionism; - nationalism; - fundamentalism

Book Synopsis Jewish Religious and Philosophical Ethics by : Curtis Hutt
Download or read book Jewish Religious and Philosophical Ethics written by Curtis Hutt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth century continental thinkers such as Bergson, Levinas and Jonas have brought fresh and renewed attentions to Jewish ethics, yet it still remains fairly low profile in the Anglophone academic world. This collection of critical essays brings together the work of established and up-and-coming scholars from Israel, the United States, and around the world on the topic of Jewish religious and philosophical ethics. The chapters are broken into three main sections – Rabbinics, Philosophy, and Contemporary Challenges. The authors address, using a variety of research strategies, the work of both major and lesser-known figures in historical Jewish religious and philosophical traditions. The book discusses a wide variety of topics related to Jewish ethics, including "ethics and the Mishnah," "Afro Jewish ethics," "Jewish historiographical ethics," as well as the conceptual/philosophical foundations of the law and virtues in the work of Martin Buber, Hermann Cohen, and Baruch Spinoza.The volume closes with four contributions on present-day frontiers in Jewish ethics. As the first book to focus on the nature, scope and ramifications of the Jewish ethics at work in religious and philosophical contexts, this book will be of great interest to anyone studying Jewish Studies, Philosophy and Religion.
Book Synopsis From Occupation to Occupy by : Sina Arnold
Download or read book From Occupation to Occupy written by Sina Arnold and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent rise of antisemitism in the United States has been well documented and linked to groups and ideologies associated with the far right. In From Occupation to Occupy, Sina Arnold argues that antisemitism can also be found as an "invisible prejudice" on the left. Based on participation in left-wing events and demonstrations, interviews with activists, and analysis of left-wing social movement literature, Arnold argues that a pattern for enabling antisemitism exists. Although open antisemitism on the left is very rare, there are recurring instances of "antisemitic trivialization," in which antisemitism is not perceived as a relevant issue in its own right, leading to a lack of empathy for Jewish concerns and grievances. Arnold's research also reveals a pervasive defensiveness against accusations of antisemitism in left-wing politics, with activists fiercely dismissing the possibility of prejudice against Jews within their movements and invariably shifting discussions to critiques of Israel or other forms of racism. From Occupation to Occupy offers potential remedies for this situation and suggests that a progressive political movement that takes antisemitism seriously can be a powerful force for change in the United States.
