Rabbi Elhanan Beck

Rabbi Elhanan Beck, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi from Palestine, offers a unique critique of Zionism and advocates for Palestinian rights. He discusses the distinction between Judaism and Zionism, arguing that the former is a religious faith while the latter is a secular nationalism. Rabbi Beck highlights how Muslim-majority countries historically protected Jews and criticizes the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Ultimately, he envisions a post-Zionist Palestine where Jews and Palestinians coexist peacefully.
