Summary:"Cross on the Star of David presents the first scholarly analysis, based on newly declassified documents, of Israeli policymaking on the issue of the Christian world's stance toward the new state resulting from the War of Independence. Uri Bialer focuses on the impact that modes of thinking rooted in the historical tradition of Jewish-Christian interactions had on Israeli policymakers and concludes that they were not innocent of the perceptions and biases that influenced the Christian world's behavior toward Israel. The result is a fine-grained, original interpretation of an important dimension of Israeli foreign policy from the founding of the State to the 1967 War."--BOOK JACKET.
