Adler, Emanuel

Opis

Since independence, Israel has lived with a paradox, needing and seeking legitimacy and empathy from the world community while also discounting the world. This volume reflects upon Israel's troubled attempts to balance its desire to be different from a world that it needs and that it also wants to be a legitimate member of.
