Summary

There is an expectation in Jewish communities that all Jews embrace Zionism and offer automatic, unquestioning support for Israel, "right or wrong". Jewish identity and Zionism are commonly and deliberately blurred. Jews who criticise Israel are often vilified and excluded. By expressing sympathy for the Palestinians, they risk being branded as traitors and accused of "supporting the enemies of Israel".'Beyond Tribal Loyalties' is a unique collection of twenty-five personal stories of Jewish peace activists from Australia, Canada, Israel, the United Kingdom & the United States. The stories focus on the complex and intensely personal journey that Jewish activists go through to free themselves from the hold of Zionist ideology.
