No issue has aroused greater controversy in Israel in the 1990s than the Oslo peace process. Despite its promise of peace and security, the Israeli public and political system was bitterly divided over it. Why did the peace process arouse such intense controversy in Israel? What caused Israelis to fight so bitterly? By viewing Israeli foreign policy through the lens of identity, instead of just the narrow lens of security, this book reveals that behind the internal division over the peace process were profound differences over the definition of Israeli national identity - who Israelis are and who they should be.
