Quotes by Peter Beinart (?)

“Fears don't exist in isolation. They tend to rise and fall depending on what people think they can do about them.”
― Peter Beinart, The Icarus Syndrome: A History of American Hubris

“We are not history’s permanent virtuous victims. We are not hardwired to forever endure evil but never commit it. That false innocence, which pervades contemporary Jewish life, camouflages domination as self-defense. It exempts Jews from external judgment. It offers infinite license to fallible human beings.”
― Peter Beinart, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning

“From the destruction of the Second Temple to the expulsion from Spain to the Holocaust, Jews have told new stories to answer the horrors we endured. We must now tell a new story to answer the horror that a Jewish country has perpetrated, with the support of many Jews around the world. Its central element should be this: We are not history’s permanent virtuous victims. We are not hardwired to forever endure evil but never commit it. That false innocence, which pervades contemporary Jewish life, camouflages domination as self-defense.”
― Peter Beinart, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning
