No Country for Jewish Liberals

No Country for Jewish Liberals is Larry Derfner’s personal and political story of life in contemporary Israel, describing how an American Jewish emigrant and his adopted country grew apart. Derfner describes his boyhood in Los Angeles as the son of Holocaust escapees, his coming of age amidst the upheavals of 1960s America, his move to Israel, and his controversial career in journalism. This provocative book explores Israel’s moral decline through the lens of Derfner’s experiences, blending memoir, reportage, and commentary. It is a riveting narrative of how Israeli society has come to alienate its Jewish liberals.
