Our New Edited Volume of Essays has just been Published:

The Americanization of the Israeli Right
האמריקניזציה של הימין הישראלי

מדובר באסופת מאמרים עם 12 פרקים שונים שסוקרים את ההשפעה על ישראל של ארגונים, תורמים ורעיונות שמרניים בימין האמריקני בעשורים האחרונים. בין השאלות שהספר (והאירוע) דן בהם: מאיפה הגיח לפתע פורום קהלת לחיינו? מי הם התורמים והארגונים היהודים-אמריקניים שסייעו לעצב את ה"רפורמה המשפטית" או לנסח את "חוק הלאום"? עד כמה ובאיזה דרכים משפיעים גורמים אוונגליסטים, ניאו-שמרנים וליברטריאנים אמריקנים על ישראל? ומה תפקידם של רעיונות שמרניים תוצרת ארצות הברית בעיצוב חייה הפוליטיים, החברתיים, התרבותיים והכלכליים של מדינת ישראל כיום?

את הספר ערכו ד"ר יואב פרומר (אוניברסיטת תל אביב) ופרופ' אילן פלג (לאפייט קולג', פנסילבניה). 

הספר, כמו גם אירוע ההשקה, מוקדש לזכרו של חברנו ד"ר חיים כצמן ז"ל, חוקר פורץ דרך ואחד מכותבי הספר, אשר נרצח בשבעה באוקטובר בביתו בקיבוץ חולית.

The book, as well as the event, is dedicated to the memory of our friend Dr. Hayim Katsman - a trailblazing researcher and one of the book's authors, who was murdered on October 7th, in his home in Kibbutz Holit.

The Next Generation: Changing Attitudes Towards Israel Among Younger Americans, Part 2: The Evangelicals

This event was the second in a three-part series examining the attitudes of young people in the United States towards Israel.

Since the 1980s Evangelicals have been one of the most reliable sources of political support for Israel in the United States. This had a profound effect on American foreign policy and contributed to the deepening ties between the United States and Israel ever since. However, recent data suggests that younger Evangelicals today may not necessarily share in the “fervent embrace” of Israel that has characterized earlier generations. Are younger Evangelicals turning away from Israel– if so, why? Are they expressing growing sympathy for Palestinians? What is responsible for this generational divide? How has the recent war in Gaza impacted Evangelical views? And what does this all mean for the future of U.S.-Israel relations? This interdisciplinary panel of academic experts will tackle these timely questions and present new data and analysis on what appears to be a transformative moment in the “special relationship” between the United States and Israel.
