בלינקן מדבר בהצהרות עם נתניהו על האלוף במילואים נעם תיבון שנסע שעה מביתו עם אקדח בלבד כדי להציל את משפחתו בקיבוץ. "קיבלנו השראה מהגבורה", אמר בלינקן. "ראינו איך אנשים עלו על מטוסים מחו"ל כדי לחזור לכאן" Amir Tibon אמיר תיבון
This incredible novel which was once a terrifying fever dream has now come to life. I am so proud to have sold it to Lauren Wein at Avid Reader Press.
Of all the words written about October 7th, Amir Tibon אמיר תיבון’s are the ones you should read. Honored to have played a small part in bringing this story to light.
At the end of this week, I'm taking a three-months long break from my work at Haaretz.com in order to write "The Gates of Gaza", as announced today by Little, Brown and Co: a book about the October 7 attack; my Kibbutz, Nahal Oz; and the history of Israel, Hamas and Gaza. More to come.
I wrote for The Atlantic about my experience as a Jew and Israeli on Columbia University's campus. "More people, including faculty and students, should speak out against hateful rhetoric that is morally wrong, even if it's protected by the First Amendment". theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
