Einstein and Arendt's 1948 open letter on Israel resurfaces

Original: Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt's 1948 open letter on Israel

Attention is returning to the 1948 open letter in which Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt and other Jewish intellectuals warned against Menachem Begin's Herut party, calling it fascist in its methods and criticizing its conduct during the Deir Yassin massacre and its rejection of a binational state. The letter's warnings about the treatment of Arabs and the risks of extremist nationalism are being re-read amid ongoing debate over Israel and Gaza.

Why now: The Gaza war has revived interest in historical Jewish critiques of Israeli nationalism, including Einstein and Arendt's letter.
