This was the doubling that preoccupied Roth, but it didn't end there, of course. Just as the Old Jews were trapped in a fraternal battle with European Christians, cast as devils onto which all evil was projected, so the New Jews required their own anti-self: the Palestinian, a locus of perpetual threat inside Israel and on its borders.

XREF: Connects to Philip Roth's 'The Counterlife' and the Old Jew/New Jew doubling theme the author develops.
