Abstract:
The dramatic global, regional and domestic changes that occurred after the unpredicted collapse of the Soviet Union have created a need to examine a host of theoretical and practical issues, particularly in regard to security and foreign relations. The U.S.-Israeli 'special relationships' is no exception. This seemed, and is still viewed as, one of the most solid and stable bilateral relationships. Yet the new international and domestic reality in both the U.S. and Israel warrants a thorough re-examination. The essays in this collection deal with, among other things, the general global setting and its implications for this relationship; with 'hard' strategic factors; and less tangible aspects, such as American images of Israel, the attitudes of other American religious denominations, and the situation of the American Jewish community.

The U.S. and Israel have always enjoyed a very "special" relationship. Together they share tremendous success: one as a regional power and the other as a global power. In addition, both share a strong sense of national identity and are stable, vibrant democracies. This relationship has been critical during the period of cold war politics from 1948-1989. However, since the breakup of the Soviet Union, this relationship has been the basis for much of the intensified hatred aimed at the U.S. as the world's sole super power. This paper will examine the nature of this "special" relationship prior to and following the end of the Cold War and how it fits within the overall Mideast focus. Is it relevant in a post-Cold War scenario? How does the relationship compare to the relationship we have with Egypt and Saudi Arabia? What are the cost/benefits of the relationship? What role should the U.S. play in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? I will examine the issue from the earliest stages of Zionism through the British Mandate and other geopolitical issues that have served to frame this conflict/relationship into the crisis that exists today. Within that context, a critical examination will be done to assess whether the current U.S.-Israeli relationship remains viable or whether we should refocus our efforts in a different direction.
Ben-Zvi also shows how former Prime Minister Shamir's decision to build settlements in the occupied territories aggravated an already tense situation between the U.S. and Israel, and he concludes with comments on the Gulf War and the return to power of the Labor Party in 1992.
