YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“Palestinians killed [since Oct. 7]... were nameless and faceless and generally unmentioned.”

Peter Beinart, an editor-at-large for Jewish Currents, a contributing opinion columnist at The New York Times and a political commentator for MSNBC, Joins Mehdi Hasan for a powerful discussion about his new book, the conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism, and his thoughts on the ceasefire agreement.

Peter Beinart is one of America’s leading Jewish columnists and political commentators. A former editor of The New Republic, he was once a supporter of the Iraq war and an ardent Zionist. But now, Beinart has questioned many of his previous positions and is a prominent voice for Palestinian liberation.

Beinart recently published a provocative new book titled Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning. In the book, Beinart calls on the Jewish community to abandon a long-held narrative of persecution and victimhood in the wake of Oct. 7 and Israel’s war on Gaza. He urges Jews to tell a new story, one that recognizes victims can also be victimizers.
