Legacies of Dissent: American Jews, Zionism, and Palestine with Professors Marjorie N. Feld and Geoffrey Levin

Geoffrey Levin’s Our Palestine Question and Marjorie Feld’s The Threshold of Dissent reveal the long history of debates over Zionism and Israel within the American Jewish community. Levin records the voices of American Jews who called for an honest reckoning with the moral and political plight of Palestinians from even before Israel’s founding. Feld examines how and why mainstream Jewish leaders marginalized anti- and non-Zionists from the 1880s through the 1980s. Feld and Levin will talk about the implications and costs of limiting the Jewish communal agenda with an eye toward today’s Jewish protests over the devastation in Gaza.
