When I asked Peter Beinart to tell me what he thought about the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, announced last week, his tone was resigned. “I’ve actually been in an Israeli shelter with my daughter when she was younger and I have a lot of friends and family in Israel, so I was grateful,” Beinart said. “But I also felt that nothing had been solved and that in all likelihood something like this would happen again, unfortunately.”

Beinart is a writer and an editor, but above all else, he is an unusual figure for many American Jews. He’s Orthodox, has considered himself a Zionist. He’s also a human rights advocate. And his position on Israel has shifted over time. Having once been a staunch defender of the Jewish state, he’s now something else an interlocutor, challenging everyone to look closely at Israel, and tell him if what they see looks fair.
