Description

Setting aside the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, Kop (director, Center for Social Policy Studies, Israel) and Litan (vice president and director of Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution, US) examine social divisions within the borders of Israel and discuss governmental policy initiatives that may be useful in lessening tensions between different native and immigrant Jews, between secular and religious Jews, between Jews and Arabs, and between Jews of different ethnic backgrounds: Ashkenazim (of European and American origin) and Sephardim (of Asian and African origin). They find one of the great motors of division, although not the only one, to be maldistribution of resources, and suggest ways in which this can be ameliorated in terms of education, infrastructure, and other areas. However, they have surprisingly little to say about land ownership. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read More
