Defending Zion
From New Left Review, Zion's rebel daughter: An article on Hannah Arendt, Palestine and Jewish politics. Defending Zion: William Kristol reviews Jews and Power by Ruth R. Wisse (and more). Eric Alterman on a paradox of American Jewish political behavior: they think like liberals, but they let belligerent right-wingers who demonize and distort their values speak for them. An interview with Rodger Kamenetz, author of A History of Last Night’s Dream. In turning again to the writings of Abraham Joshua Heschel, which had such an impact in the 1950s and ’60s, one is startled by how much vitality they still possess.
