Omer Bartov: Writing History after the Destruction of Gaza

»The license that Israel, the land of victims, has long enjoyed and abused may be coming to an end,« wrote the Israeli-American Holocaust and genocide researcher Omer Bartov in April 2025 during the hunger blockade of Gaza. In an interview with »Berlin Review« editor Tobias Haberkorn, historian Omer Bartov talks about the extraordinary consequences of October 7 and the destruction of Gaza on the moral order of the world.
