DESCRIPTION:Please join the Global Justice Program for a lecture on "Israel
 : What Went Wrong?" by Omer Bartov\, an Israeli-American scholar and Dean’s
  Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University.\n\nThis l
 ecture will provide a gist of Bartov's forthcoming book\, Israel: What Went
  Wrong?\, to be published in April 2026. The book explores the tragic trans
 formation of Zionism\, a movement that sought to emancipate European Jewry 
 from oppression\, into a state ideology of ethno-nationalism. How is it pos
 sible that a state founded in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust\, an
  event that gave legitimacy to a national home for the Jews\, stands credib
 ly accused of perpetrating large-scale war crimes? How do we come to terms 
 with the fact that Israel’s war of destruction is being conducted with the 
 support\, laced with denial and indifference\, of so many of its Jewish cit
 izens? Tracing the roots of the violent events currently unfolding in Israe
 l and the occupied territories\, the book tracks Israel’s moral tribulation
 s and considers the origins of Zionism\; the intertwining of its independen
 ce with Palestinian displacement\; the politics of the Holocaust\; controve
 rsies over the term "genocide"\; and the uncertain future. \n\nBartov is an
  Israeli-American scholar and Dean’s Professor of Holocaust and Genocide St
 udies at Brown University. He has written widely on war crimes\, interethni
 c relations\, and genocide. Recent books\, published in multiple languages\
 , include Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczac
 z (2018)\, which won the National Jewish Book Award\, and Genocide\, the Ho
 locaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis (2023
 )\, named Choice 2024 Outstanding Academic Title. Bartov’s essays and comme
 ntaries have been widely featured in national and international magazines a
 nd media outlets. His new book\, Israel: What Went Wrong? will be published
  in April 2026 by FSG in the US and Penguin/Random Books in the UK.
