But with \u003ci\u003eTrouble in the Tribe\u003c\/i\u003e, he brings to bear a rare combination of calm, reasoned analysis with scrupulous scholarly research. American Jewish arguments about Israel will certainly continue, but if Waxman's contribution to it gets the attention it deserves, they should be based far more on complex reality than simplistic fantasy. And we will all be better for it.\"\u003cb\u003e--Eric Alterman, columnist for the \u003ci\u003eNation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Good books, Orwell once wrote, set your scattered thoughts in order--in a way, tell you what you already know. Dov Waxman's \u003ci\u003eTrouble in the Tribe\u003c\/i\u003e lays it out: the attitudes, the clashes, the numbers, the future. For a generation, American Jewish solidarity regarding Israel was indistinguishable from the élan of community life. Waxman shows how, and why, this can change, even how Israel has become polarizing for congregational life. A grim, real, necessary book.\"\u003cb\u003e--Bernard Avishai, Dartmouth College and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is an extremely important book that will have profound consequences. When puzzled friends ask me why the American Jewish community is now so divided over Israel, this is the book I will recommend.\"\u003cb\u003e--Kenneth D.
