Originally presented on Tuesday 27 May 2025 by The Wheeler Centre, watch Peter Beinart reflect on Jewish identity, justice, and the urgent moral questions raised by the destruction of Gaza, in conversation with host Sarah Schwartz.

Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza is a timely and deeply personal meditation on what it means to be Jewish in the wake of extraordinary violence and loss. Drawing on Jewish history, tradition and global efforts at moral reconstruction, Beinart calls for a new story – one where Palestinian and Jewish safety are inseparable, and where the sanctity of human life rises above nationalist ideology.

Beinart is one of America’s most courageous and thought-provoking public intellectuals, known for his fearless commentary on Israel–Palestine, democracy, and the moral responsibilities of faith and citizenship.

With host Sarah Schwartz, Beinart takes the stage at The Wheeler Centre to explore one of the most pressing ethical and political challenges of our time – and to share his vision for a future grounded in equality, justice and shared humanity.
