The Role of Jewishness and Doubleness in Israel

This chapter explores the centrality of Jewishness in the book, discussing the concept of doubleness and the motif of the doppelganger in relation to Jewishness, Zionism, and Israel. It also examines the idea of the 'old Jew' vs. the 'new Jew' in Israeli culture and draws parallels between Israeli settler colonialism and the treatment of Jews in Europe.
