| Abstract: |
The article discusses a book that explores the history of the Jewish left and its anti-Zionist tradition, particularly in the context of a contemporary revival. The author highlights that while recent works have focused on mainstream Jewish organizations, the radical left offers a more profound understanding of this tradition. Notably, it is mentioned that during the 1930s, a significant portion of the Communist Party USA was Jewish, and many Jews were involved in New Left organizations like Students for a Democratic Society. The book aims to connect current Jewish solidarity with Palestinians to historical roots, providing essential context for the emerging Jewish left. [Extracted from the article] |
