Israel’s Bombing of Gaza Has Made a Bonfire of International Norms | Pankaj Mishra

Can the world ever be the same after Israel’s brutal, non-stop bombing of Gaza? That is the question author Pankaj Mishra writes about in his latest book, The World After Gaza. Mishra’s well researched book explodes several myths, not least being that Israel was formed in 1948 to provide a safe place for survivors of the Holocaust. On the contrary, he writes, the survivors who did move there were treated badly by the European Jews. Most Jews who moved there were from the Arab countries who knew little about the Holocaust. In his interview with Sidharth Bhatia, Mishra also talks about how Western countries have backed Israel fully, allowing it to get away with a lot – and this will have long term consequences.
