Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning by Peter Beinart | In this personal and provocative address, Peter Beinart — a Jewish man himself — examines the stories Jews tell themselves to justify the destruction and suffering of Palestinian people and land. In the wake of the war in Gaza, Beinart finds himself reflecting the narrative of Jewish persecution throughout their history, enduring centuries of pain and turmoil. However, now seemingly deflected onto the Palestinians in the name of justice. Beinart offers a moving account of perspective and understanding for those who seek deeper insight.
