{"product_id":"9780230338173","title":"A New Voice for Israel: Fighting for the Survival of the Jewish Nation","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany Americans who care about Israel's future are questioning whether the hard-line, uncritical stances adopted by many traditional pro-Israel advocates really serve the country's best interests over the long-term. Moderate Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder of J Street, the new pro-Israel, pro-peace political movement, punctures many of the myths that have long guided our understanding of the politics of the American Jewish community and have been fundamental to how pro-Israel advocates have pursued their work. These myths include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- that leaders of established Jewish organizations speak for all Jewish Americans when it comes to Israel\u003cbr\u003e- that being pro-Israel means you cannot support creation of a Palestinian state \u003cbr\u003e- that American Jews vote for candidates based largely on their support of Israel \u003cbr\u003e- that talking peace with your enemies demonstrates weakness \u003cbr\u003e- that allying with neoconservatives and evangelical Christians is good for Israel and good for the Jewish community. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBen-Ami, whose grandparents were first-generation Zionists and founders of Tel Aviv, tells the story of his own evolution toward a more moderate viewpoint. He sketches a new direction for both American policy and the conduct of the debate over Israel in the American Jewish community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084386386160,"sku":"9780230338173","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780230338173_p0.jpg?v=1769916028","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780230338173","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
