Lee Yaron, the Haaretz investigative journalist, sits down with 92NY’s Rabbi David Ingber to discuss her new book, 10/7: One Hundred Human Stories.
The definitive account of the infamous massacre, this book takes the stories of 100 civilians who were slaughtered that day and uses them to tell the history of Israel and of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Having spent the past year conducting extensive interviews with survivors, the bereaved, and first responders in Israel and beyond, Yaron profiles victims from a wide range of communities, depicting the fullness of their lives, not just their final moments. Hear her powerful perspective on the lives of the victims, who run the gamut from left-wing kibbutzniks and Burning Man-esque partiers to radical right-wingers, from Bedouins and Israeli Arabs to Thai and Nepalese immigrant workers, along with her views on all the wars since 1948 and all the missed opportunities for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.
