Settler Violence is State Violence

Thinking that a state based on Jewish supremacy will crack down on settler violence is like thinking George Wallace would crack down on the Klan.

The Incoherence of Blaming Mamdani for anti-Jewish Violence

He’s the one who keeps saying that Jews and Israel aren’t the same. It’s his pro-Israel critics who lump them together.

Very disappointed that @scottwiener.bsky.social cancelled our interview. I intended to give him what hecklers at the Trans march didn't: The chance to thoughtfully answer people critical of his views on Israel-Palestine. Avoiding hard questions isn't good politics. Nor does it show moral courage.

🗽 NYC: Join us next Thursday on the UWS for nosh and conversation with journalist, author, and first-ever HL speaker @peterbeinart.bsky.social! We’ll talk about the Jewish tent, new Jewish institutions, and where we go from here. RSVP here: forms.gle/DVpKBN3iCHUt...

An Evening with Peter Beinart

I enjoyed talking to Coleman Hughes about Israel-Palestine and Iran. Always grateful for the chance to talk respectfully to people with whom I disagree.

Coleman Hughes vs. Peter Beinart Debate: Should Israel Be a Jewish State?

I'm imagining a supporter of the Islamic Republic telling Anne Herzberg the same thing: How dare you, from your foreign apartment and with no skin in the game, suggest that Iranians deserve legal equality and human rights?

Karen Attiah @karenattiah.bsky.social · 4mo ago

States should treat people equally under the law, irrespective of ethnicity, religion or race. I support that principle in the US, India, Iran, Israel-Palestine, everywhere. I believe such states tend to be safer for everyone. @mdubowitz.bsky.social disagrees. I'd welcome discussing this with him.

Really useful facts here to push against the thought stopping cliches that come up in arguments about Israel/Palestine.

Peter Beinart@peterbeinart.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Sam Harris thinks his beliefs on Israel-Palestine are inarguable. He’s wrong.
