About this talk

This Centre for Palestine Studies book event brings into conversation the Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser and the award-winning novelist Ahdaf Soueif. Moser's book Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, uncovers a suppressed tradition that has shaped Jewish thought for generations. Through a cast of artists, rabbis, poets, lawyers, activists, journalists, and politicians—from Europe and Africa and Asia and Latin America—Moser traces a lineage of Jewish dissenters who confronted Zionism’s moral and political stakes—often at devastating personal cost, including censorship, exile, and death. Their lives form a sweeping, global narrative that dismantles a powerful myth: that anti-Zionism is synonymous with antisemitism. Moser’s work restores the full scale and depth of Jewish ethical imagination, affirming that Judaism is older and larger than any single political project. Image credit: Mohamed Marey via Unsplash
