Description: "Weaving political and historical argument into an account of his life in Europe and Israel, Brecher explores both the private and public dimensions of the modern Jewish narrative - integration and displacement, the Holocaust, the Jewish colonization of Palestine, and attitudes toward Arabs and other non-Jews. He concludes: equating the experience of anti-Semitism in the diaspora with the suffering of Jews in Israel radicalizes the Middle East conflict, fuels distrust of the non-Jewish world, and deepens the injustices committed against the Palestinians."--BOOK JACKET.
