I wrote my book because I sensed, even before Oct 7, that when it came to Israel, the organized Jewish community had no limits. It would never say "enough." Now Trump is proposing mass ethnic cleansing. Just watch: Jewish leaders will justify this too. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/my-new-book

“We don’t want Armenians to be able to serve in Congress.” The ANCA condemns this racist anti-Armenian rant by US Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), cosponsor of a reckless Congressional resolution to ship US arms and aid to genocidal Azerbaijan

The Politico CEO called an all-hands meeting to say the outlet unequivocally supports Israel. He also said any reporter who disagrees with his personal Zionism should quit. When pressed by reporters on the need to follow journalistic ethics, he said: “I don’t need to prove Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon.”

@Spokoiny But you are debating me. You responded to my Carlson piece and now just did a twitter thread about me. You're just debating in soundbites rather than in a format where we'd have to answer each other's arguments in depth. If you change your mind, let me know.

@PeterBeinart I respectfully decline. You can read this substack to see my rationale for not debating antizionism. substack.com/home/post/p-19… I understand that it's a shock to find yourself defending the same positions as Carlson, but it's a fact. I don't debate facts. Nobody should

First it’s not true, Carlson speaks in conspiracies that involve other countries. Second, you may speak about “systems that involve other countries” but make israel the proxy for all those systems. You are like Carlson - live with it.

Being a Muslim Immigrant in Trump’s America: Conversation between @PeterBeinart and @mehdirhasan open.substack.com/pub/peterbeina…

מגיעים ישראלי ופלסטיני לאחת התוכניות הכי נצפות בארה״ב, נותנים ראיון פגז, מדברים על שלום, על צדק, ועל האפשרות לעתיד אחר, וכאן אף אחד בתקשורת אפילו לא טורח להזכיר את זה. אז הנה: במקום לצפות ברעל החולני שנשפך כל יום באולפנים כאן, תקשיבו לחברי היקר מעוז ולאזיז, ותתמלאו בתקווה.

Horrible. Hard to see this as anything other than retaliation.

Peter Beinart hits it right on the head: Why the Iran war is so much more about Palestine than you'd think

In the 1980s, apartheid South Africa attacked six of its neighbors. It did so for the same reason Israel is now attacking Iran + Lebanon. Because its leaders would not face the core truth that their real problem lay at home. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/this-war-is-…

Hotlines for US soldiers thinking of leaving the armed forces as "conscientious objectors" are being overwhelmed. Almost all the calls mention the bombing of the girls' school in Iran that killed more than 100 school children. npr.org/2026/04/10/nx-…
