About the Book

Asks pertinent questions without shying away from difficult answers. Some of Israel's leading thinkers and experts from Israeli academia, journalism and public life investigate the pressing issues that face the modern State of Israel. The radical political perspectives and alternatives presented in this book challenge long-held ideas about how Israel should conduct itself as a political entity, drawing on both past and present political discussion in Israel. Ultimately, the contributors arrive at a highly original and controversial portrayal of Israeli society, and present a blueprint for a radical new path for Israeli politics.

Review :
"A stimulating collection of essays." --Jewish Peace Fellowship "This important book illustrates the heterogeneity of contemporary Israeli society. It offers comprehensive descriptions and analyses of particular groups within the structure of the society. In clarifying the various discourses which contribute to the complexity of the society, it provides the reader with illuminating and often painful information and insights. This knowledge should be made available to anyone striving to become better acquainted with Israel society." --Prof. Daniel Bar-tal, Tel Aviv University "There could not have been a more opportune time for the publication of Who's Left in Israel?. Dan Leon has done a good job of selecting the fifteen contributors and editing this unusual anthology. It appears at a time when even rightists in Israel are waking up to the political reality of what is called 'the two-state solution' - the State of Palestine alongside the State of Israel. This a political necessity for which most of the authors, and Dan Leon himself, have been struggling for decades." --Ari Rath, former editor, Jerusalem Post "Dan Leon's highly recommended book presents a mosaic of fifteen articles by specialists in their subject. on the theory and practice of the Israel left and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Who's Left in Israel?, in tackling complex questions on Israel's official policies, past and present, challenges much of the 'conventional wisdom' which has stymied so many initiatives for peace. Some of the writers believe that in our day one can perhaps see a gleam of light at the end of the tunnel. At any rate, this thought-provoking work is essential reading for all those who seek peace and justice in Israel/Palestine." --Latif Dori, Secretary of the Committee for Israeli-Palestinian Dialogue, founded by Israelis of Oriental origin; recipient of the Kreisky Prize for Peace and Human Rights "Leon, former editor of New Outlook, has collected articles by Israel's most vociferous far-leftists to show that, despite the enormous discrediting of leftist ideas over the past fifteen years, "peace" is still possible if Israel adopts an uncompromising anti-Zionist, Marxist agenda... Who's Left in Israel? has value as a guide to the mindset of Israel's hard Left today and perhaps the harder Left tomorrow." --Middle East Quarterly "The special quality of Dan Leon's convincing anthology is that it flows from his long experience both as an activist in the Israeli left and as a writer with unusual ability to view its history and prospects in broad perspective. Who's Left in Israel? deserves to be read by all those interested in the dilemmas facing the Israeli left in our times." --Knesset Member Ran Cohen
