Un intellettuale ebreo-americano di fronte a Gaza: atrocità, resistenza e speranza. Intervista a Bruce Robbins
Bruce Robbins, Jewish American Professor of Humanities at Columbia University, discusses his views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, his new book Atrocity: A Literary History, and his activism, including his films Some of My Best Friends Are Zionists (2014) and What Kind of Jew is Shlomo Sand? (2020), which explore dissent within Jewish communities. Robbins criticizes Israeli military policies and highlights the suffering of Gaza’s population, arguing that violence only fuels future resistance. He emphasizes the need to distinguish between condemning specific atrocities and the justice of a broader cause, so that it should be possible to find the killing of civilians unacceptable and at the same time acknowledge the rights of Palestinians to resist an illegal occupation. Robbins also argues that an increasingly large number of American Jews have now become critical of Israel’s modus operandi and the reaction of Zionist organizations like AIPAC to pro-Palestinian demonstrations is not a show of strength but a sign of weakness.
