Jonathan Graubart's book, "Jewish Self-Determination beyond Zionism," delves into the post-Israeli statehood evolution of liberal Zionist and Jewish anti-Zionist perspectives. Graubart proposes a non-statist concept of Jewish self-determination, envisioning a binational political arrangement that rejects Apartheid practices and fosters just coexistence between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs. This vision emphasizes cultural enrichment, internationalism, and the development of new political, social, and economic avenues for genuine reconciliation. The book also explores Humanist Zionism through the lens of thinkers like Martin Buber and Hannah Arendt, advocating for a thorough acknowledgment of the Zionist movement's foundational issues and a comprehensive reckoning with the Palestinian narrative. Ultimately, Graubart argues that an updated binational approach represents the most promising path forward.
