Weekly Roundup - 12/4/23

This week: In a feature from our Fall issue, associate editor Mari Cohen’s recounts her experience as a hit-and-run victim, and explores whether restorative justice can offer a meaningful answer to traffic violence.

For the newsletter, Aman Abhishek examines how settler rampages have hampered activism to protect Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

In a new essay, contributor Dan Berger outlines how Israeli hostages’ families’ demand to exchange “everyone for everyone” begins to challenge the carceral logic of the ethnostate. And as Jewish fears are funneled into a civil liberties crackdown, a new op-ed by Ben Lorber models a sober assessment of campus antisemitism.

We are also sending a conversation between contributing writer Linda Kinstler and genocide scholars Omer Bartov, Jelena Subotić, and Raz Segal on the weaponization of Holocaust memory in the wake of October 7th.

Finally, we are sharing a new cartoon by contributing writer Eli Valley on the Anti-Defamation League’s response to the death of Henry Kissinger.
