Howdy, Kelley ;-)
Sorry, I'm pressed for time so can't summarize Walzer pov. (Check the Dissent website.)
A hostile critique I just read in the new collection of the Noamster, "Middle East Illusions." Reprint of an essay in his mid-70's collection, "Peace in the Middle East?"
Edward Said also has a piece originally from Grand Street or Raritan that does the same. "Canaanite Reading of Walzer's, "Exodus and Revolution.' Michael P.S. Chomsky was a participant in a conference in '70, "The New Left and the Jews, " w/neo-cons like Nathan Glazer and S.M. Lipset. I ran across it in the SFPL recently.
