In 2007, Minister Ronnie Kasrils, the highest-ranking Jew in South Africa's post-apartheid government, launched a campaign against Israeli policy in the occupied territories. In so doing, he ignited a public debate about the Israeli-Palestininan conflict that challenged the identity of South African Jews in the new South Africa. This book draws heavily on the insights and experiences of the author who, as a speechwriter for Parliament at the time, was personally involved in the debates and discussions surrounding the issue.
