But despite these arguments' significance to American politics, American Jewish life, and to Israel itself, no one has ever systematically examined their history and explained why they matter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWe Are Not One\u003c\/i\u003e, historian Eric Alterman traces this debate from its nineteenth-century origins. Following Israel's 1948-1949 War of Independence (called the \"nakba\" or \"catastrophe\" by Palestinians), few Americans, including few Jews, paid much attention to Israel or the challenges it faced. Following the 1967 Six-Day War, however, almost overnight support for Israel became the primary component of American Jews' collective identity. Over time, Jewish organizations joined forces with conservative Christians and neoconservative pundits and politicos to wage a tenacious fight to define Israel's image in the US media, popular culture, Congress, and college campuses. Deeply researched, \u003ci\u003eWe Are Not One\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how our consensus on Israel and Palestine emerged and why, today, it is fracturing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Alterman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 046509631X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465096312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.30w x 2.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2023","brand":"Eric Alterman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070730465535,"sku":"9780465096312","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bec3ea0-5a45-4c30-9d6f-96924c80e172.jpg?v=1685432031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/we-are-not-one-eric-alterman-9780465096312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
