Goldman, Shalom, 'Israel at Thirty: Political Action, Messianic Expectations, and Literary Controversies (1977–1997)', Starstruck in the Promised Land: How the Arts Shaped American Passions about Israel (Chapel Hill, NC , 2019; online edn, North Carolina Scholarship Online, 17 Sept. 2020), https://doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469652412.003.0007, accessed 4 May 2025.
Abstract
This chapter traces the growing complexity of the American relationship to Israel: from American telethon fundraisers to concerted criticism to the rise of American Evangelical support for Israel. It also details the growing complexities around the question of how to treat the Palestinian territories. Additional topics include the growing phenomenon of “Jerusalem Syndrome,” or cult-like religious zealotry focused on Israel, as well as the treatment of Israel in several American best-selling novels. The chapter concludes with the response to the First Intifada and the election of Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister.
