My New Book

Being Jewish After the Destruction in Gaza: A Reckoning

I’m excited to share the cover of my upcoming book, BEING JEWISH AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF GAZA. Over the last year, I’ve struggled with the way many Jews— including people I cherish— have justified the destruction of an entire society. The book is about the stories Jews tell ourselves that blind us to Palestinian suffering. It’s about how we came to value a state, Israel, above the lives of all the people who live under its control. And it’s about why I believe that Palestinian liberation means Jewish liberation as well. My hope is that even people who disagree fervently with my arguments will feel that it was a written in a spirit of Jewish solidarity and love. And that, in some small way, it might contribute to the struggle for Palestinian freedom while also opening a conversation within the Jewish communities and families ruptured by this horrifying war.

BEING JEWISH AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF GAZA will be on sale January 28^th, 2025, but you can pre-order now on Bookshop.org or Amazon.

Thanks,

Peter
