Susie Linfield Reviews Peter Beinart's Book Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning

Susie Linfield delivers a searing critique of Peter Beinart’s new book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza. While Beinart urges Jews to abandon Zionism and embrace a binational state with a Palestinian majority, Linfield argues that his vision is dangerously naïve, historically distorted, and blind to the political realities of the Middle East. From selective evidence to euphemistic language, she contends that Beinart whitewashes Hamas and ignores key facts about Israeli history, Arab rejectionism, and the lived experience of diaspora and Mizrahi Jews. ✍️ Written by: Susie Linfield, journalism professor at NYU and author of The Lions’ Den 🔗 Read the full article on Quillette: https://quillette.com/2025/02/19/a-ki... 📌 This video explores: Zionism vs. Beinart’s “binational” vision, post–October 7 anti-Zionism, historical amnesia in the Arab–Israeli conflict, selective outrage in progressive discourse, and the role of Jewish identity in a post-Holocaust world. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Review begins ------ Quillette is an Australian-based online magazine that focuses on long-form analysis and cultural commentary.
