Trauma, Rage, and Revenge after
October 7th: Inside Israeli Society with Ori Hanan Weisberg
Join us for a powerful conversation with Ori Weisberg, an Israeli Jew living in Jerusalem, as we explore the ongoing war in Gaza from the perspective of someone deeply embedded in the complexities of Israeli society. Ori served in the Israeli Defense Forces during the First Intifada, and since then has become a voice of conscience, committed to dialogue, justice, and truth.
A scholar with a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Michigan, Ori has taught in both Israel and the U.S., worked as an editor and translator, and contributed to outlets including Haaretz, The Forward, Times of Israel, and The Washington Post. Though personally impacted by the October 7 attacks—one of his friends was wounded and captured by Hamas—Ori chooses to engage his fellow Israelis on social media with honesty, empathy, and remarkable civility.
In this livestream, we’ll talk with Ori about the war on Gaza, Israeli public discourse, and the need for moral clarity in a time of devastating violence. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss..
