The Right to Banality: Interwar Jewish Global Thought between Eastern Europe and the Middle East
If you are looking to read something on the history of Zionism that moves beyond the settler colonialism debate & shows how the pre-1948 conflict in Palestine is linked to pre-Holocaust Eastern Europe -- & the role of int'l law in this story -- here's a new piece by yours truly. cup.org/4lQfUL7

Don't Think: A Poem by I.L. Peretz - James Loeffler
Don’t Think By Isaac Leybush Peretz (1905) Translated from the Yiddish by James Loeffler ©2010 Don’t think that the world is just a tavern, Made so
Don’t think that the sky is a curtain, made so God won’t see!
That the clouds are so that no one can see your hands;
That the wind will muffle the wild cries;
That the earth will soak up the blood of the victims...
- I.L. Peretz (1905) , trans. J. Loeffler (2010)

A new-ish piece of mine on Judaism and human rights, Israel and Palestine, is out. Come for the critique of easy religious slogans, stay for the reflections on what a future Jewish ethics might look like. creor-ejournal.library.mcgill.ca/article/view...

What We Have Learned About Campus Free Speech Since October 7
"There is no retreat on campus from the hard questions about freedom and equality."
Last year I wrote a short piece about antisemitism and free speech, a spin-off from the book I am now completing (due out May '26). It just won the Rockower prize for excellence in writing about antisemitism. Happy to share once again here. www.hartman.org.il/what-we-have...
