Aaron Regunberg The Un-Jew cc: Gil Troy tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

I’ve long backed a two-state solution. But believing it’s possible after Oct. 7 without first uprooting the radicalization in Gaza & the West Bank is fantasy. Peace will only be possible after the culture of death in Palestinian society comes to an end. Interview on Sky News.

2/6 “When I asked for his favorite book, he answered, ‘in some ways, my favorite book is the next one, or the one I haven’t read yet.’” @Giltroy Jewish Journal
