This week, Boston Review coeditor Deborah Chasman spoke with Palestinian human rights activist and lawyer Noura Erakat about Hamas’s attack, the response by Israel and the United States, and why the condemnation of war crimes—by both Hamas and Israel—is no substitute for politics.

It feels particularly constrained this time.
