“Israel’s Moment” refers to the period of 1945-9, and particularly to 1947-9 when both liberals and leftists, especially in the United States and France, found common ground with the Soviet Union and communist regimes in Eastern Europe in support for Zionist aspirations in Palestine. In those same years, opposition to those aspirations came not only from the British government and Arab governments and organizations but from the US State Department, Pentagon, and CIA. This work examines this unique and brief moment in the interregnum when memories of World War II and the Holocaust overlapped with the beginnings of the Cold War.
