'Why do Israeli millennials acquiesce to the Occupation? Gutkowski’s meticulously researched book presents a strikingly intricate description of a sensibility among young secular Zionists that the Occupation is “regrettable,” but the only “reasonable” option. In so doing, she illustrates the ongoing relevance of Albert Memmi’s portrait of “the colonizer who refuses.”'

'Secularism is a contested term in Israeli society, where religion and nationalism are almost inseparable. Unpacking secularism and addressing its contradictions and inconsistencies, Gutkowski's study of Hiloni (secular) millennials provides a fascinating and often under-studied observation of contemporary Israel. Rationality and pragmatism, Hiloni millennials identify themselves with, turns out to be centrist and rather conservative, exposing again secularism’s boundaries and limitations.'
