the interests and grievances of those Jews who suffered losses in Arab states.
The first chapter offers an informative country-by-country account of the political process by which Jews left their countries and
property behind. Less satisfactory is his presentation of the social and cultural composition of these diverse communities, which
relies on problematic secondary sources (especially the polemical writings of Ella Shohat), and consequently makes generalizations
based on the misunderstanding of how and in what context categories such as ' Arab Jews: Musta'arab1m, Sephardim, or Mizrah,m,
are used. While the history of the Jews of the Arab world is not the goal of the book, a more convincing explanation of their
background and identity could have provided a better understanding of the complicated and ambivalent positions and attitudes of
a1lrure
Jews from Arab countries in Israel towards the countries where they formerly resided.

Palestinians as part of the peace process - what is consistent throughout the whole period of Israel's existence is the linkage
between Jewish and Palestinian claims for compensation of lost property, in which the fom1er could be used to reduce the amount
potentially claimed by the latter. From the perspective of the Israeli government Jewish claims were much like an insurance policy
that could be used against future claims of the Palestinians in the context of a peace settlement, and hence there was little desire by
Israel to pursue vigorously, if at all, the claims of individuals or communities for compensation of their properties. Even here, there
were sometimes misgivings in connecting the claims, mainly out of concern that it could elicit demands that Israel compensate its
immigrants from Arab lands in the context of a settlement which the state could ill afford. While the issue was much debated in the
early 1950s, it was all but ignored until the mid-1970s in the context of renewed Israeli-Arab negotiations. The Americans under
