Caught up on episodes #193 and #194 of the @thefirethesetimes.com podcast with Amos Goldberg on Gaza, the Holocaust, Holocaust studies and genocide studies and this whole, oftentimes very silly, debate — really informative for those who care thefirethesetimes.com/2025/05/25/i...

The Gaza famine and genocide cannot become the new normal. The latest episode of The Fire These Times is now available everywhere.

loved this conversation and so appreciate the space for independent thought @thefirethesetimes.com has created

20 years ago today, the Assad regime assassinated Samir Kassir in Beirut. On this special ep published with @thefirethesetimes.com, Ziad Majed, his friend and comrade, joins us to talk about his legacy - and how much has changed since. On all podcast apps and: www.patreon.com/posts/130502...

In case I've only recommended this podcast 999 times:

I edited this episode. It's really powerful. Hearing Maram speak at length about her daily life in Gaza under Israeli siege and bombardment is just ... I don't know how to communicate how privileged we are to hear the stories of someone resisting genocide. We need to listen, we need to do more.

We spoke to Gaza journalist Maram Humaid about the many layers of Israel's genocide @thefirethesetimes.com. There was even an Israeli airstrike nearby during our recording.

This is a long episode so it is divided it in two parts.

Part 1 is out wherever you get your podcasts.

You can also listen to the full episode on Patreon, for free, here www.patreon.com/posts/tftt-1...

Finally, they spoke about “The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History”, which Goldberg co-edited with Bashir Bashir, and argue for the necessity of new horizons in our imaginaries.

This is especially relevant with the Gaza genocide as there have been scholars of the Holocaust who have previously argued that no genocides could compare to it, while also being willing to argue that Israel is fighting the new Nazis. Such ahistorical statements are deeply problematic.

Goldberg and Ayoub also got into Hitler's 1939 Reichstag speech to explore how 'intent' has been used to understand genocides historically, and how the legal tradition risks setting back Holocaust and Genocide studies decades.

In this episode of The Fire These Times, Goldberg and Ayoub also got into how genocides are often preceded by claims of self-defense. In fact, claims of self-defense by the party committing genocide are common throughout history. Israel is no exception to this rule. www.patreon.com/posts/tftt-1...

In 2024, Goldberg wrote a paper for the Journal of Genocide Research exploring how the question of ‘intent’ is used in discussions around genocides, including the Gaza one. It's open access.

Amos Goldberg is an Israeli historian of the Holocaust who called Israel's war on Gaza a genocide. He joined @ayoub.bsky.social to talk about the ways 'intent' is used to mislead the public, and whether the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies is in crisis.

In this wonderful conversation with @mollycrabapple.bsky.social, @ayoub.bsky.social mentions his work looking into the "bloodless civil war" between Yiddish and Hebrew and we are incredibly excited to be publishing it next week.

Bella conversazione sulla riscoperta della tradizione del Bund - l'unione dei lavoratori ebrei - e cosa possa significare per l'oggi l'intraducibile parola yiddish "Doikayt".

Really looking forward to learning more about this history:

Cited this in my final lecture ❤️
