Description
The Destruction of Gaza: A Record of Moral Abdication Didier Fassin examines the six months of war waged by the Israeli army after the 7 October attacks, drawing on a rich range of international sources. He reveals how Western governments have supported the destruction of Gaza, silencing Palestinians and those who speak on their behalf. The Israeli narrative has been widely adopted by mainstream media, ignoring the experiences and perspectives of Palestinians. Dissenting voices were silenced, and a policing of language and thought was imposed. Censorship and self-censorship became normalized, with those who called for a ceasefire or demanded respect for humanitarian law accused of antisemitism. Fassin's book constitutes an archive of this moral abdication, exploring the extreme inequality of lives between the two sides of the conflict and analyzing the complex geopolitical, economic, and ideological stakes that underlie it.
