More than five months after the ceasefire, Israel continues to kill Palestinians in airstrikes while restricting food and medicine to the enclave's desperate population. Yet the world's attention has moved on to other problems. Enter historian Jean-Pierre Filiu, who traveled to Gaza for 32 days to bear witness to the consequences of Israel's war of national annihilation. In this episode, Filiu shares what he experienced on the ground in Gaza, the subject of his new book, " A Historian in Gaza ." Further reading: Why Gaza Matters by Jean-Pierre Filiu (in Foreign Affairs , the official publication of the Council on Foreign Relations)
