After a century of enmity between Jew and Arab, nearly three decades of occupation, and six years of a bloody intifada, Israeli leaders are doing the unthinkable - shaking hands with their Arab adversaries.In Beyond the Promised Land, Pulitzer Prize-winner Glenn Frankel unlocks these last seven turbulent years of civil unrest, political upheaval, and diplomatic crisis, in which many of the long-standing assumptions, beliefs, and practices that lay at the very heart of Israeli society were shaken, challenged, and ultimately swept aside or remade. Beginning with the Palestinian intifada, a wholly unexpected explosion of popular rage and great expectations that shattered the low-cost, low-pain status quo in which Israel and its Palestinian subjects had been frozen for twenty years, Frankel charts the rise of new political forces inside Israel, and the roles that the arrival of nearly half a million Jewish immigrants, the death of socialism, the eclipse of Arab military power, and the ascendancy of the United States all played in the remaking of the Jewish state.
