We Are Not One

In We Are Not One, bestselling historian Eric Alterman explores the complex and often contentious history of America's alliance with Israel, delving into the roots of the Zionist movement and its impact on both American and Jewish political culture. He traces the evolution of American Jewish identity in relation to Israel, particularly after pivotal events like the 1967 Six-Day War, when support for Israel became central to that identity. Drawing on extensive research, Alterman examines how various organizations have shaped public perception of Israel in the U.S. and reflects on the current fractures in this consensus.
