What is Obligation in Exile : The Jewish Diaspora, Israel and Critique about?

## Explores the complex relationship between Israel and the Diaspora Jewish identity Combining political theory and sociological interviews spanning four countries, Israel, the USA, Canada and the UK, Ilan Zvi Baron explores the Jewish Diaspora/Israel relationship and suggests that instead of looking at Diaspora Jews’ relationship with Israel as a matter of loyalty, it is one of obligation. Baron develops an outline for a theory of transnational political obligation and, in the process, provides an alternative way to understand and explore the Diaspora/Israel relationship than one mired in partisan debates about whether or not being a good Jew means supporting Israel. He concludes by arguing that critique of Israel is not just about Israeli policy, but about what it means to be a Diaspora Jew. ## Find Out More * [**Read the Preface and Introduction online for free (pdf)**](http://www.euppublishing.com/userimages/ContentEditor/1422372575852/Baron%20-%20Obligation%20in%20Exile%20-%20Introduction.pdf%22)
