Reviews"Aronson, who spent time in Israel as a teenager and a young man, here tells the story of the triumph and tragedy of the state -- its promise as a lifeline and a home for the dispossessed and its culpability in displacing the Arabs who inhabited the new homeland. His inner turmoil about how to love something that is imperfect emerges palpably from each page. Both a soul-searching personal essay and a fact-filled history, this slim volume is as even-handed an explanation of the Gordian knot that is Israel/Palestine as one is likely to find."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

SynopsisIsrael.The word itself can mean arguing with God, and talking about Israel can start endless arguments about politics, history, morality, and prejudice. Unsettled, Marc Aronson's most deeply personal book to date, explores the history of Israel, from the beginning of the Zionist movement to the birth of Israel as a state in 1948 to the intense confA licts over Israel, the Palestinians, and the Jewish settlements of today. Along the way Aronson intersperses stories from his own family's long experiences in Israel while asking and answering such questions as: Can a religious state also be a democratic one? Is Israel the victim or the aggressor? Do modern states have moral obligations? And perhaps the most troubling question of all: What kind of Israel should exist? Once again, Aronson has created history for young adults that is exciting, probing, clear, and most of all, fearless.
