A Stranger in the Land

"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.
