Download or read book An American Political Scientist in Israel written by Paul Eidelberg and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the author's meetings with some of Israel's political and intellectual leaders after he immigrated to Israel in 1976. He reveals the flawed mentality of Israel's elites and their policy of 'land for peace.' Contributing to this failure is Israel's unstable system of multi-party cabinet government and the country's lack of a written Constitution. Eidelberg offers a Jewish-democratic version of the American Constitution, whose Hebraic roots were recognized by learned men of the eighteenth century.
