Jewish Voices for Palestinian Rights

Book excerpt: Embark on a thought-provoking journey through the complex dynamics of Israel-Palestine discourse, as this compelling exploration delves into the impact of dominant rhetoric on negating Palestinian history and identity. Uncover the nuanced boundaries of political speech within American Jewish discourse regarding Israel, exploring who dares to cross them and the consequential aftermath. This study sheds light on the motivations that lead certain Jewish dissenters to challenge intracommunal boundaries about Israel and examines how these boundaries shift within different contexts. Through a meticulous textual analysis, discover the transformative power of dissenting rhetoric in redefining Jewish identity. Dissenters not only advocate for Palestinian rights but also assert a reimagined understanding of what it truly means to be Jewish, challenging the prevailing narrative of unquestionable Zionism.
