The Myth of Israel’s ‘Moral Army,’ with Peter Beinart and Avner Gvaryahu of Breaking the Silence

Join Jewish Currents’s editor-at-large Peter Beinart for a conversation with Avner Gvaryahu, executive director of Breaking the Silence—an organization of Israeli military veterans who oppose the occupation. They will discuss Gvaryahu’s recent Foreign Affairs essay, “The Myth of Israel’s ‘Moral Army,’” as part of a broader conversation about the Israeli military’s actions in their devastating war on Gaza.
