Summary
American Jewish political scholar quoted in Perceptions of Palestine in two places: on Holocaust theology after the Eichmann trial — “insofar as Palestinian Arabs and the Arab world in general attempt to thwart Jewish empowerment in Israel, they symbolize to Holocaust theologians the continuity of the Nazi drama” — and, in a speech after the collapse of the Camp David talks, on the “subtext” of even progressive Israeli and American Jewish arguments: “that Palestinian history and destiny is secondary to Jewish history and destiny. Any political empowerment of Palestinians must be limited and monitored by Israel”, which Christison names the fundamental assumption and fundamental inequity of all U.S. administrations (Perceptions of Palestine, lines 1248-1300, 3048).
