Israel/Palestine

Anger at Israeli treatment of Palestinians lies at the heart of Bertell Ollman's Letter of Resignation from the Jewish People. Jonathan Schorsch asks Ollman to reconsider. In The Lack of a Vision Ammon Raz-Krakotzkin decries the racism inherent in Israeli conceptions of peace. Criticizing both binational and two-state solutions, Jeff Halper proposes a regional confederation instead. Finally, in The Ideological Roots of Christian Zionism, Tony Campolo warns us about the real danger of Christian Zionists.
