Abstract
This book revisits contemporary Arab engagements with the question of Jewish political rights (as individuals, religious communities and/or a national collective) under the light of European anti-Semitism and Zionism. It also explores Jewish engagements with the Arab Question, namely how Zionism and non-Zionist Jewish voices dealt with Palestinian presence and political rights in historic Palestine. These two key political questions have been historically debated, but not juxtaposed, despite the fact that they have become inextricably intertwined. They continue to inform, feed and kindle conflicts in Europe, Middle East, and US. Revisiting the Jewish and Arab questions today is all the more urgent in view of the crisis that Palestinian, Jewish, Arab, and European nationalisms are facing.
