Jabaliya Is Now a City of Rubble
I saw northern Gaza for the first time in 15 months: debris and dust—that is all that is left.

Even those with the most vivid imaginations could not have envisioned the turn that the lessons of the Holocaust, commemorated internationally today, would take. Never before has Israel been in such a morally diminished position to represent the survivors who rebuilt their lives here after the Holocaust.

Prof. Franke Will No Longer Teach at Columbia Law School, Stemming from her Defense of Palestinian Students
A chasm has formed between Holocaust scholars concerning Israel/Palestine, deepening immeasurably since 7 October 2023. Unlike previous controversies in the field, the divide is not just historical or methodological; it revolves around academics’ role in the world today, particularly the public stand they choose to take on Palestine/Israel and Zionism. Two main camps have formed. Put reductively, one camp defends Israel, while the other defends Palestinians, although differences between individual scholars within each camp make for more of a spectrum than a clear-cut divide. How, despite a diversity of ideas and foci within each camp, did two academic-political antipodes solidify over several decades, and how have 7 October and the ensuing war widened the rift between them?
