A dramatic shift is taking place in Israel and America. In Israel, the deepening occupation of the West Bank is putting Israeli democracy at risk. In the United States, the refusal of major Jewish organisations to defend democracy in the Jewish state is alienating many young liberal Jews from Zionism itself. In the next generation, the liberal Zionist dream, the dream of a state that safeguards the Jewish people and cherishes democratic ideals, may die. In The Crisis of Zionism, Peter Beinart lays out in chilling detail the looming danger to Israeli democracy and the American Jewish establishment's refusal to confront it. And he offers a fascinating, groundbreaking portrait of the two leaders at the centre of the crisis- Barack Obama, America's first 'Jewish president', a man steeped in the liberalism he learned from his many Jewish friends and mentors in Chicago; and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister who considers liberalism the Jewish people's special curse. These two men embody fundamentally different visions, not just of American and Israeli national interests, but of the mission of the Jewish people itself. Beinart concludes with provocative

Peter Beinart calls himself a "liberal Zionist." He attends synagogue, he believes in the rightness of a homeland for the Jewish people; but he is anguished by the undemocratic policies of right wing American Zionists and the Israeli government's occupation of the West Bank and their denial of equal rights for Palestinians. In this book he traces the development of both groups from their liberal past to their present illiberal policies and beliefs and hopes to wake up younger American Jews.
The right wing Israelis and American Jews dismiss him and many of the younger generation of American Jews either don't care that Israel may no longer be a liberal democracy or don't care about Israel or the Jewish faith at all. He writes clearly and convincingly, but he is writing to an increasingly diminishing audience.
