The Arc of a Covenant: The United States, Israel, and the Fate of the Jewish People, Part I
The nuances of the Israeli-American relationship extend far into the past. Author Walter Russell Mead joins David M. Rubenstein for a two-part conversation to examine the connections between Israeli and American political history. This first of two episodes examines the origins of American support for Israel inside and outside of the Jewish community, the role of antisemitism and American isolationism in rising support for a Jewish state, and the impacts of evolving political affiliations in the United States and Israeli governments today.
