Close to a century of war in Israel - Author Yardena Schwartz explains the Hebron Massacre
Israel: State of a Nation
Yardena Schwartz explores the historical significance of the 1929 Hebron massacre in her book, "Ghosts of a Holy War," in a conversation with Eylon Levy. Schwartz draws parallels between this tragic event, where Jewish residents were brutally attacked, and similar incidents of violence a century later, such as the October 7 massacre. Her analysis provides insights into the recurring patterns of conflict in Israel and the enduring memory of such events in the collective Jewish consciousness, highlighting the complexity and persistence of regional tensions and ethnic strife.
