Launch of “Ghosts of a Holy War”

28 May at 19:30

The Hebron massacre of 1929 was a seminal event in the Arab-Israeli conflict, key to understanding its complexities. The echoes of 1929 in Hamas’s massacre of October 7, 2023, illustrate how little has changed. Journalist Yardena Schwartz expertly weaves the war between Israel and Hamas into a historical framework, demonstrating how the conflict today cannot be understood without the context of Arab anti-Jewish violence dating back more than a century.

The Begin Center is honored to be hosting Yardena Schwartz as she visits Israel from the United States, to formally launch her acclaimed new book in Israel.
