City on A Hilltop: American Jews and the Israeli Settler Movement

City on A Hilltop: American Jews and the Israeli Settler Movement by Sara Yael Hirschhorn, 350 pages.

Hirschhorn gives an account of several groups of American Jews who became an integral part of the Israeli settlement movement. Beginning in the 1960s, groups of American Jews have crossed the Green Line and begun settlements in what became the Israeli occupied territories after the 1967 Six Day War.
The author explores the motivations of these settlers with a balanced hand. A fascinating look at a complex subject.
