Summary
Late Israeli scholar and Holocaust survivor quoted by Yavne: A Jewish Case for Equality in Israel-Palestine that what motivates much of Israeli society in its relations with the Palestinians is a particular interpretation of the lessons of the Holocaust (Yavne: A Jewish Case for Equality in Israel-Palestine, line 178).
Details
- Beinart uses Elkana’s observation to ground his “Holocaust lens” argument: the depiction of Palestinians as compulsive Jew-haters stems, in Beinart’s argument following Elkana, less from Palestinian behaviour than from Jewish trauma (line 176).
