Being Jewish After Destruction of Gaza

by Peter Beinart

2025

In the wake of recent devastating events in Gaza, Peter Beinart challenges a dominant narrative within Jewish communities that centers on persecution. He argues that this inherited story obscures the nuances of Jewish tradition and distorts understandings of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Beinart proposes a new narrative, one that draws on a different interpretation of Jewish texts and global examples of moral reckoning, to envision a future where equality and intertwined safety for both Israelis and Palestinians are possible. This provocative work is essential reading for anyone grappling with the complexities of justice and identity in our time.
