Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me by Harvey Pekar

3.0

This book is about a very specific perspective of Israel/Palestine - what's it's like to be raised by Zionists in the 1960s but be friends with leftist radicals at the same time. I loved reading about that tension the most, but found the parts about the biblical history of the formation of Israel (we are talking 600 A.D.) to be a bit dense.

I adored the shout out to the Cleveland Height library and the homage to Cleveland - essential Pekar.
