In this work he fearlessly dissects the complex attitudes of Western European liberal Left intellectuals toward Israel, Zionism and the \"Israeli peace camp\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe argues that through a prism of famous writers like Amos Oz, David Grossman and A.B. Yehoshua, the peace camp has now adopted the European vision of \"new Zionism\", promoting the fierce Israeli desire to be accepted as part of the West and taking advantage of growing Islamophobia across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe backdrop to this uneasy relationship is the ever-present shadow of the Holocaust. Laor is merciless as he strips bare the hypocrisies and unarticulated fantasies that lie beneath the love affair between \u003cem\u003eliberal Zionists\u003c\/em\u003e and their European supporters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461593022700,"sku":"9781784786281","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781784786281-the-myths-of-liberal-zionism.jpg?v=1774972618","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-myths-of-liberal-zionism-by-yitzhak-laor-9781784786281","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
