Bt idem po zkze Gazy Beinart Peter (2025)

This Czech-language book examines how Jews, and all those concerned about the fate of the Jewish people and Israel, should respond to what has happened in Gaza. Peter Beinart, a prominent American Jewish journalist, political scientist and commentator who embraces a liberal, ethically grounded tradition of Judaism, asks whether it is possible to remain faithful to Judaisms fundamental values of justice, respect for life and the dignity of every human being while excusing or justifying a war that devastates civilians. He argues that the long-standing Jewish self-image built around a narrative portraying Jews exclusively as victims is no longer sustainable, and seeks to restore Judaisms moral dimension. Its true essence, he maintains, lies not in loyalty to a state but in fidelity to its ethical heritage and respect for every human life. The book combines a political and historical analysis with religious reflection and a moral challenge rooted in the Jewish intellectual tradition of universal justice and responsibility.
