Professor Jeff Schuhrke has published a book about the role of Zionism in the US labor movement. The book “No Neutrals There, US Labor, Zionism and the Struggle For Palestine” examines the history of the role of US unions in supporting the formation of the Israeli state and the Histadrut and how debate and discussion about this role has been suppressed within the labor movement.
