Being Jewish After the
Destruction of Gaza is a provocative argument that will expand and inform one of
the defining conversations of our time. A passionate yet measured work that
brings together Beinart's personal experience, his commanding grasp of history,
his keen understanding of political and moral dilemmas, and a clear vision for
the future. He brings us an alternate narrative, which would draw on
other nations’ efforts at moral reconstruction and a different reading of
Jewish tradition. A story in which Israeli Jews have the right to equality, not
supremacy, and in which Jewish and Palestinian safety are not mutually
exclusive but intertwined. One that recognizes the danger of venerating states
at the expense of human life.
Peter Beinart is a frequent contributor to The New York Times, an MSNBC analyst, and a professor of journalism and political science at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. He is also the editor at large of Jewish Currents and writes The Beinart Notebook, a weekly newsletter. He lives with his family in New York City. Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza is his latest book.
