A smashing review and a sensitive subject. In the U.S., there is resistance (among Jews) to equating Zionism with Judaism, and there is insistence among others that to be a Jew is to be a Zionist. What to do? How to thread the needle. This book seems to be making an honest attempt to thread the needle, but in my country, among people I know (large Jewish population) it is best to just stay off the subject. Tempers flare. Emotions run high.

Israel and Palestine into a single bi-national state

You are right. Hilariously, tragically naive. How can they agree on the future if they can't agree on the past? To listen to Jews and Palestinians tell the history is to listen to two different narratives.

I don't buy books. Too expensive. Also, I'm downsizing since we moved recently. But this review is a great tease and I may check to see if it is at the local library (when I get my new library card😇)
