Stranded on the rocks of ‘Israel exceptionalism’ By Sally Bland - Mar 15,2021 - Last updated at Mar 31,2021 The Movement and the Middle East: How the Arab-Israeli Conflict Divided the American Left Michael R. Fischbach Pp. 297
This is a companion piece to Michael Fischbach’s earlier book, “Black Power and Palestine” (2019), covering roughly the same time period, the 1960s and 1970s, but with a different focus. While the subject matter of the earlier book is obvious from the title, the movement analysed in this new book is the broad array of (mainly white) organisations and individuals that united around opposition to the US war in Vietnam and the struggle for radical change in America.
