DESCRIPTION:Peter Beinart lays out in chilling detail how today's Jews are failing at 
 both challenges and how the next generation must embrace the liberal 
 Zionist dream-the dream of a state that safeguards the Jewish people and 
 cherishes democratic ideals. Beinart asserts that American Jews identify 
 with the victimhood of their religion rather than the Israeli democracy, 
 and young Jewish people today have not examined the West Bank and Gaza 
 political situation correctly. Beinart concludes with provocative proposals 
 for how the relationship between American Jews and Israel must change.  
 \n\nPeter Beinart is the author of The Icarus Syndrome and The Good Fight. 
 A former editor of The New Republic, he is a senior political writer for 
 The Daily Beast (thedailybeast.com). He is an associate professor of

 deeply important book for anyone who cares about Israel, its security, its 
 democracy, and its prospects for a just and lasting peace. Beinart explains 
 the roots of the current political and religious debates within Israel, 
 raises the tough questions that can't be avoided, and offers a new way 
 forward to achieve Zionism's founding ideals, both in Israel and among the 
 diaspora Jews in the United States and elsewhere."       --President Bill 
 Clinton\n\nPenny Rosenwasser works as Special Events Coordinator for Middle 
 East Children's Alliance.\n
