7 October, the terror of Hamas war in Gaza, and the worldwide protests against it, pose new and crucial questions for Jews around the world: questions of belonging, alienation from Israel or loyalty to the Jewish state, and representation. While anti-Semitic hostility is on the rise worldwide, many liberal, secular or progressive Jews disagree with the policies of the current Israeli government and find themselves struggling to explain their position. A field of tension has emerged that is not only political but also existential. How can solidarity and criticism be reconciled? Does being Jewish also mean being Israeli? The book, edited by Amir Eshel and Thomas Sparr, familiarises readers with the discussion on this topic in the United States.
