Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza

2025 book by Peter Beinart

Summary

Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning is a 2025 book by American journalist and professor Peter Beinart, published by Knopf. It is an appeal for American Jews to reckon with Israel's conduct in the Gaza war. He argues they must reject what Beinart describes as a narrative of permanent Jewish victimhood that, in his view, has enabled the American Jewish community to ignore Palestinian suffering. It debuted on the New York Times Best Sellers list for Hardcover Nonfiction in February 2025.
