“We cannot know what sort of human beings will emerge from this.”
Following Hamas’s deadly attack on 7 October 2023, Israel’s military response has been described as “inevitable”. Eleven months on, the scope and ferocity of that military response has stunned the world.
In this episode of the podcast we speak to four of the writers who contributed to the New Statesman essay collection Losing Gaza (https://www.newstatesman.com/world/middle-east/2024/08/losing-gaza-palestinian-writers-symposium).

Susan Neiman: "It's not about being pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, but pro-human rights"
The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has now passed the 100 day mark. On the 14 January Alona Ferber attended the Jewish Labour Movement conference, which happened to take place on the 100th day of the war. In this podcast she speaks with Susan Neiman, the American moral philosopher, about the splits this war has caused on the left and tensions she sees between tribalist currents on the left and universalist principles, which Neiman believes are the values of a true left.
