SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Journalist Peter Beinart: Antisemitism\, Islamophobia\, and American Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Journalist Peter Beinart’s new book\, \"Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning\,\" 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.\"\n\nOnce an outspoken defender of Israel\, Beinart now challenges \"the idea that it [Israel] can be both Jewish and democratic\" and confronts the Jewish narrative of persecution\, victimhood\, and the Holocaust that have been deployed to justify mass slaughter and starvation in Gaza. He explores a future where Israeli Jews have the right to equality\, not supremacy\, and in which Jewish and Palestinian safety are not mutually exclusive but intertwined.\n\nPeter Beinart is a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the CUNY Center\, with degrees from Yale and Oxford\, and  and is the editor-at-large of Jewish Currents. He is an Opinion Columnist for The New York Times.
