Moderate Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder of J Street, the new pro-Israel, pro-peace political movement, punctures many of the myths that have long guided our understanding of the politics of the American Jewish community and have been fundamental to how pro-Israel advocates have pursued their work. These myths include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- that leaders of established Jewish organizations speak for all Jewish Americans when it comes to Israel\u003cbr\u003e- that being pro-Israel means you cannot support creation of a Palestinian state \u003cbr\u003e- that American Jews vote for candidates based largely on their support of Israel \u003cbr\u003e- that talking peace with your enemies demonstrates weakness \u003cbr\u003e- that allying with neoconservatives and evangelical Christians is good for Israel and good for the Jewish community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBen-Ami, whose grandparents were first-generation Zionists and founders of Tel Aviv, tells the story of his own evolution toward a more moderate viewpoint. He sketches a new direction for both American policy and the conduct of the debate over Israel in the American Jewish community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Ben-Ami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0230341667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780230341661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.38w x 0.69d","brand":"Jeremy Ben-Ami","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056678334719,"sku":"9780230341661","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6a64991-669b-4836-b64b-0afa84db327d.jpg?v=1685042652","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-new-voice-for-israel-jeremy-ben-ami-9780230341661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
