Amid Israel’s ongoing destruction of Gaza, its illegal annexation of land in the Occupied West Bank, and belligerent warmaking in Iran and Lebanon,
antisemitism around the globe is rising
—but so is an international chorus of anti-Zionist Jews speaking out against Israel’s crimes.
Marc Steiner speaks with renowned author and commentator Peter Beinart about his new book,
"Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza",
and about the “civil war” within the …

Peter Beinart: What does it mean to be Jewish after the destruction of Gaza?
“American Jews and Jews in general are safer in countries where everybody is treated equally under the law,” Peter Beinart tells TRNN. “The principle of Jewish supremacy, and Christian supremacy, and Hindu supremacy, and Islamic supremacy—all of those things are wrong.”

That attack in Golders Green was by a mentally disturbed man who that same day attacked a non Jewish man.
But it is being used as evidence of a wave of attacks on the Jewish community.
