Full Description

Einstein on Israel and Zionism focuses on correcting a widely accepted story that Einstein was a major supporter, a "champion,"of the State of Israel - a story told and retold primarily in the mainstream media. Though he supported the goal of a "Jewish Homeland" within Palestine, he opposed that of a "Jewish State." For him, the domination of Jew over Arab in Palestine, or the perpetuation of a state of mutual hostility between the two peoples, would mean the failure of Zionism.

Fred Jerome objectively presents and contextualizes material spanning the years from 1919 to 1955 some of which had never been translated or published. Had Einstein's foresight and warnings been heeded, the never-ending wars in Palestine might have been avoided.
